From Where I Sleep Tonight MAG
Your love was a summer love –
that morphed into real love,
and grew roots stronger and winding
like the biggest of trees
with dirt on my knees,
I climbed,
and climbed
to the place where the sky grew
infinitely small
and where the greenest of leaves looked
beautifully tall
I was a child when we first scraped our legs from the bushes
and fell out of touch with the rise of the moon
we were always late – it was always so dark
my sky stays light and dreary
and I'm bending and breaking to find you near me
will I find you near me?
The moon is so scary, the moon is so lonely
it is so bright from where I sleep tonight
