When it is all I can do to put it out there
Put it out
Out there it is so silent
When I am long overdue
I am long overdue to be next to you
And Peter Gabriel is on the stereo
Volume set low
Enough so as not to wake you
But enough to stir the air
You stir over there
(and I) Watch you move
(can I) Hear you breathe
How you know you’re where you’re supposed to be
Supposed to be
Why do I want to wake you
To take you
Take you to the banks again
Yes I know it is so late
It is too late
But this song brings me back again
Back into that memory sweet
When the eyes met deep
Met deep in our bellies
On the river bank
(and I) Watch you move
(and I) Hear you breathe
How you know you’re where you’re supposed to be
Supposed to be
You cannot throw this heavy weight down
It is a thorn I would not remove
Like the sweetness of bliss
The kiss
The first kiss
The bittersweet reminiscence
