Quiet hands and restless minds cast shadows on the wall
In shapes I'm recognizing from the books we read
In lights cast from balloons, I see the lines around your mouth
Form a smile that has grown out of this moment
What day's behind us now when we walk past the wooden fence
To the field behind our house with all the swing sets
The bats flew overhead, the wind it took our kite to fly
And our white dog ran in circles 'round the twilight
Now crickets move their tiny legs, like violins, they orchestrate
Music that will take us to a world where
We'll dream of all that we can do tomorrow, when it's me and you
Now hours and our sleep will separate us
We'll tread the pebble path along the west wall of our home
Where the sun warms the grass and we'll lay there
Naming animals in clouds and picking flowers for the one we love
We wonder, could there be another like her?
Her laughter fills the spaces and her hair falls softly on her shirt
Frames the gentle face that taught me beauty
You'll both sing to me the songs that move a place inside I can't explain
Somehow I know that we were formed together
