If you've got time to remember
That my eyes were
watching you
There's a weight of years
   ash and cinders
I wish you'd feel it if you knew
Heart of mine
You're a stone in the river
You're the breeze in the sand
I've got dreams
that drive me under
Spirit
   Ghost-like
     Moonlight
Rising cross the land
The way you moved your hand

Every single instant I was ready
Always ready I never went
Pages kept on turning
   days were reeling
The hours poorly spent
Heart of mine
Patience has no value
Waiting saves no time
I've got dreams
I'll not surrender
High wires
   Streetlights
     Train wheels
Rolling down the line
Your fingers close to mine

Some are martyrs
of the worst kind
Guardians only in their
own mind
Your gift to me is a memory
Mine to you, one you'll
never see
High tides
Coast lines
Hailstones from a shattered sky
Your silhouette in sight

Mending tattered seams
thread and cotton
Find a way to make it good
Losing battles long
  before I fought them
Wouldn't change it if I could
Heart of mine
You're a picture never taken
You're the sound of the rain
I've got dreams
that ring with thunder
Hillsides
   Grey skies
     Tired eyes
Closing out the light
When you saw me all was right
