Daughter Lyrics

Well, it's you and it's me
Me with a drink in my hand
The ice is tinkling like a wind chime
And late afternoon settles over the landAnd you're talking about things

I'll cry to rememberHow very close you were
Knowing this, will I reach for you?
Knowing this, will I reach for you?
The way you want me toWell, it's time to be wise
Wise in the ways of the heart
To come out from under the covers
This voluntary state of apartFrom the faces, Oasis
In this Sahara of sorrow
These graces that hold me

It's from you that I borrow
