someone was explaining
about the weather systems
moving in from the east
and I feel I'm drifting
in your slipstreams
another evening or two
and if I try to see it any other way
to seal all the shades of you in a picture
it loses shape, loses shape
you are sun you are rain
you are leaves when they fall
and all I look for is a path
through the night
and you were the moonlight
guiding my step
as I walked up to the highest hills
there I laid my head
to see the scattered remants
of everything and nothing
that ever mattered
much to me (it was another time)
and I wished you there
but the words were bare
and they left me out in the cold
you are sun you are rain
you are leaves when they fall
and all I listen for is the sound
of your dreaming in the air
dreaming in the air
was there was there was there
ever any other way?
I dreamed a dream what can it mean
and how far does it go?
you are sun you are rain you are sky
there is no end there is no end
I won't ever touch the sides
you are sun you are rain
you are mine

Long December Nights

come to me my evergreen love take me through this purple seeming night holding you tight in the cold
though all these dreams are swept aside I'm quite content to be alive sometimes but only sometimes
the stony silence speaks and it will preach on unforgiving of your flaws as you stand there forlorn
so come to me me evergreen love take me through the long December nights watching the embers die
