lyrics

therefore me

you were there beside me
mud on your shoes
by the river slowly
walk quietly, and listen
bats feed in the twilight
a warm wind hisses in the trees
a truck drones on the highway
you and the river whisper to me
none of these stones are perfect
you'll be searching all your life
pick one up and give it a kiss
leave it there for me

if this touch could heal you
would heal me too
together on the water
float quietly, and listen

tell me your story and i'll tell you mine
turn the pages till you and i rhyme
you're so sweet and i'm so fine
everyone is singing this time
i see your colors when i close my eyes
i feel what you feel when we touch
child on the beach, angel in the sky
the difference is not very much

i found you in the garden
when we were old and gray
tilling for the next year
i picked up stones and threw them away
one of those stones was perfect
i've been searching all my life
but now the rose you planted
is growing there for me
