Come and meet me where it's safer
On some burning summer day
A garden of rocks by a sun-warmed porch
With the war against time at bay
Watch the seasons take on deeper meanings for a change
Come and meet me where it's safer
When the cavalry falls away
I'll be a place to hide the good days
A place beneath the shade
With still such a long life left to go
With the stillness that carries you all the way home
Through this clearing, I'll be there beside you
And I can hardly wait
To see you there
With all the words drawn on your blinking face
Come and find me while it matters
Before the garden comes undone
There is far too much I remember
For me to keep on playing dumb
Come and find me while it matters
Admit you're just as scared as me
So we can run off where
We can bear to see these days turn to memories
To leave the war behind in the blink of an eye
To trust for once that it's enough we're both alive
I won't be straying from your side
Through this clearing, I'll be there beside you
And I can hardly wait
To see you there
With all the words drawn on your blinking face
And if they tell you that you're not worth the heartache
Well I know that's not true
And I will use my little lifetime just to prove it to you
And through this clearing, I'll be there beside you
I can hardly wait
