Among the trees and by the river Lying there, my darling shivers In her sleep she dreams of winter Whiter than her breast. I feel her heart move through her chest Warm and steady as she rests. Hear water ebbing with her breath Lulling me to sleep. Light from a source unseen reflected By the moon on rocks collected Near our bodies unexpected Pulls us from out dreams. We turn onto our backs and see A streak of light above the trees And lie here on our bed of leaves Listening to each other breathe. And here in the sky Lights flash before our eyes And I feel your warm hand
Slipping into mine And we lay and we wonder When will I come around? Do I know what you are feeling now? This morning we drove out of town Into the hills and looking down Saw the ocean all around As far as we could see. Continued on into the clouds A burst of rain, brief and loud To silent mountains, tall and proud Here is where we lay. And here in the sky Lights flash before our eyes And I feel your warm hand Slipping into mine And we lay and we wonder When will I come around? Do I know what you are feeling Here on neutral ground?
