Among the trees and by the river
Lying there, my darling shivers
In her sleep she dreams of winter
Whiter than her breast.
I feel her heart move through her chest
Warm and steady as she rests.
Hear water ebbing with her breath
Lulling me to sleep.
Light from a source unseen reflected
By the moon on rocks collected
Near our bodies unexpected
Pulls us from out dreams.
We turn onto our backs and see
A streak of light above the trees
And lie here on our bed of leaves
Listening to each other breath.
And here in the sky
Lights flash before our eyes
I feel your warm hand
Slipping into mine
And we lay and we wonder when
Will I come around?
Do I know what you are feeling now?
This morning we drove out of town
Into the hills and looking down
Saw the ocean all around
As far as we could see.
Continued on into the clouds
Through bursts of rain
Brief and loud
To silent mountains
Tall and proud
Here is where we lay.
And here in the sky
Lights flash before our eyes
I feel your warm hand
Slipping into mine
And we lay and we wonder when
Will I come around?
Do I know what you are feeling
Here on neutral ground?
