Leaned into you.

You play a song with a picture that gets stuck in my head
On a short summer night with the stars closeted
In an unbroken sky stretched as far as a heart

Over too many miles and too many bit parts


You play a song with the weather coming out of the blue

With the rain pouring down I found shelter in you

As the storm passed over tried to file away

So I could recall those nights, and I could recall those days



I still recall


Your touch when I leaned into you

The beat my heart would quicken to

Be



Just one more day


You said I couldn't be sincere

Just wait and I would reappear

Be



Just one more day


You play a song matching movements in my melody line

With these mountains between we were just out of time

I tried to keep watching as you set me alight
So I could recall those days, and I could recall those nights



I still recall


Your eyes when I leaned into you
The chance to say I wanted to
Be



Just one more day


Growing old's an easy way that you
Give up on things you wanted to

Be



Just one more day.
