lyrics

Would you lie with me tonight?
I've healed my broken wings,
But I will not take flight.

Would you lie with me tonight?
I am naked,
And the world is flowing through me.

Lay your head next to mine,
I am dreaming,
And the shapes
Drift North and West

Through fine swirling snowflakes.
There are wolves in the forest,
With their own loves,
And their own sorrows.

We walk the same crooked path
Out of the same distant past,
Wait through the same dark night
'til tomorrow.

Would you link worlds in this darkness?
Your love has me awake,
But between us is a universe of silence we must cross.

But, oh, if you listen, the pine trees surround us
With their sighing and their crying.

We share the same frozen earth.
We know the same Summer thirst.
Pass through the same clear light
In dying.

There are stars in the night sky.
And they know shining.
And they know falling.

We spin the same crystal spheres.
We live the same numbered years.

Though for the stars the years are longer,
Their light burns no stronger
Than the sparks we have struck
With our laughter and our tears,

Right here.
Right here.

So,
Would you lie with me tonight?
I've healed my broken wings,
But I shall not take flight.
