Come back to me soon That song you played As you rode away Disorder, only disorder How to begin Except to say I dance toward the meaning Then I dance away And I delight In this my only life The maps lead to you You The bed is warm tonight And jubilation All my words defeated When I try to reveal you And it’s the last hour Before the morning When the limit of your body Is the limit of my own And I delight In this my only life The maps lead to you You You This bed is warm tonight Arrow holds And I hold And you hold The matter binding The matter binding The matter binding

Each thread Each thread spun Each thread spun into a mirror By its reflection you’re outdone And everything done is a reason And every reason has another And in each other a beginning Each beginning a river And the river is deep love The deep love is the river The river is deep love Deep love is the river Time stands Time stands and you want everything Complex thing so much alive And feeling And the river is deep love The deep love is the river The river is deep love Deep love is the river Outside in the half-night Compass points to nowhere Beneath the stars it’s you who reels Reflecting and reflecting and reflecting Outside in the storm-light The feeling vital the feeling Vital the feeling and the moment The movement of the body the river The body and the water It surges and surrounds you Protection spells Are woven all around you Woven all around you And the river is deep love The deep love is the river The river is deep love Deep love is the river Deep love is the river Deep love is the river

Nothing is simple You’re standing at the window I waded through the dust of many cities Just to find you in this one My cry was an eagle’s As it dove after a dove That dove it was you, my love And the feathers are flying And the elevator’s sighing And I’m dancing with my darling Up on the second floor On the edge of love forever Cause he cannot be sure And the world is so quiet The Bonnie Prince rides on the radio tide And it flows all around us and sweet and profound he says I don’t belong to anyone Couldn’t say that I’m happy Couldn’t say that I’m sad But the days will roll on and I’m glad There’s a sweet song to make me feel strong There’s a sweet song and we’re dancing along And I’m dancing with my darling Up on the second floor On the edge of love forever Because he cannot be sure And I’m dancing with my darling Up on the second floor On the edge of love forever Because he cannot be sure

I dream of dreaming I dream of you Try to be simple Try to be true Townes said it better Than I ever could Try not to worry Try to be good A pause to watch The long night sky Shifting, shifting Becoming dark And like the light We drift and drift Into the void Beneath our feet But love is sweet And time’s the healer You are the archipelago Flung out on the water I am the sea You are unknowable to me I had to get away I couldn’t take it any longer I see it in the mirror And I hear it through the walls And they will tell you At the end of it all Forget your love Forget your promise Please don’t forget me When I’m out here howling I didn’t do it well But I was trying I was trying I was trying I’m running down the road Far from all that heading east Can you hear it in the wind It brings a different kind of peace If it’s peace you’re looking for I know a place beyond the trees Beyond the trees you feel it It is in the air It is everywhere I dream of dreaming I dream of you Try to be simple Try to be true Townes said it better Than I ever could Try not to worry Try to be good A pause to watch The long night sky Shifting, shifting Becoming dark And like the light We drift and drift Into the void Beneath our feet But love is sweet And time’s the healer

Tried to take a picture Lens beams into the chasm That unrolls itself before me I went to see the tapestry Hoping it would be a map That I could follow In the quiet museum Night, perpetual Beaming and beaming My love I want you softly My love I want you dreaming Shining and shining Maps never led to you Don’t know how I arrived A highway and an exit And I was by your side In your bed I traced my fingers Along the golden road Among the tangled threads that wove Transformation mmmm Beaming and beaming My love I want you softly My love I want you dreaming Shining and shining I hold you holding me again And jubilation You show to me a mirror You say this is who you are This is who you are Beaming and beaming My love I want you softly My love I want you dreaming Shining and shining

As you stare into The open mouth of the world I was trying to reach you all evening But there’s still so much to learn I tried to leave you behind So many times but I return Then the big moon rose up high and wild And I am weak as a wave Forever breaking on your shore Wherever you are I shine a signal Whoever you are I send a call This is the end and the Beginning and it’s time that is Collapsing as you’re spinning out To join the other planets And your gravity pull And your sunrise arms are waving now And I cast it to the sky I don’t ask why anymore The mystery grows every day Wherever you are I shine a signal Whoever you are I send a call I need you all the time All the time Wherever you are I shine a signal Whoever you are I send a call
