Album: Untended Stories
I once had a thing or two to say
I said it, I said them carefully
Then I took you in my arms
Now there's a woman in the mix
A loving man to carry her
I'm with her when I beat the earth
A working man who earns a share
Of every breath of working care
And I can feel your life
The weight of mountains standing in the light
I'm back at my geography
I feel the land in front of me
Maybe if we take that road
With all our might to Mexico
We can find time in the sun
And we will slowly get to know
A little more about our love
Our hands in darkness, our eyes closed
Silver on the shore
My love the weight of mountains in the night
And I can feel your life
The weight of mountains standing in the light
Let's be lonely when there's nothing left to be
I've talked to every man I know about the open sea
What's been in your life that has you laughing so
How can you be passion and master and still hold Every note
The room tells me I'm busy
But my life knows I'm just waiting to come home
To sit beside the table that you laid
To talk about the dinner that you made
Afterwards the curtains can be drawn
For the usual carry on
