somewhere the sun
such a distant and bright
star that burns for your kiss
is shining on your perfect blue lips
I'm sorry I couldn't be there
right there to watch your face light up
when it touches the sky
its all in your mind
the distance
the time and space
stay awake and here with me
stay forever in this scene

were both looking at the same star
captured by its light
were behind a door in a field knocking and listening
waiting for fall to arrive
when the sun captures the trees and ignites the landscape
wanting to fall in love
were crossing the same river on stepping stones
mindful of the water
careful not to dip our toes in the cool stream
and were waiting for winter
waiting for the earth to pull up its blankets
and lay us a carpet
to each other's insides
