lyrics

Find me within arm’s length. Distance is desire. Secrets underneath your skin, if they well up I’ll take them in. My hand floats on the surface of your body ever new. Follow birthmarks with my finger to find the woman you are or I have figured. If you speak without talking, I'll sing without words until the fleeting hours of the morning.
There are tears to fill your palms - longing for the size of a lake. The space, here in between us, is a place to set on fire. I know that we are different. I want us to be free. You smiled a hundred smiles today: some remind of leaving, others stayin’. If you speak without talking, I'll sing without words until the fleeting hours of the morning, await the new day we'll be born in.
It’s your eye, your eyes dam great dark waters. On my mind the pines of a sparkling forest. When your voice, your voice sings the chorus, my heart is kind of like that deer panting for streams of water.
One day I'll stop running, bow my head and rest. Drink from what the well for me offers inexhaustibly. For now I can’t stop moving, we’re changin’ all time. Trying to play the truth of what I am. Catch me, catch me if I can. It’s your eye …
