| Lyrics: | Now is the glimmering spinning beginning
Of something I've prayed for and counted the
minutes
To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
Of night, here with you in my
arms.
This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you and I move in a background of
wonder,
Surrounded by countless enclosures
Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.
Counting
times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited, and called out my name by the
hour,
And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
To carry the sound, I have counted on
pleading,
You see how I need you, come down.
And now between twilight and midnight I come to
you,
Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight,
Bright is the evening, the breezes
have fenced us
And nestled against us -
You're here -
And warm.
And mine till the
time
When the dawn will awake you,
The morning will shake you,
The highway will take
you.
But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets
Will swim through the luster of
lingering street lights
We count on the night to hold everything even,
And count on
forgetting that you will be leaving,
And destiny's folded and then in the dawn you'll be
gone.
But now as the gardens of softening night time
Are blossoming slowly around where we
are,
You and I come together
And walk through the dreams of the stars.
So here while the
song of the deepening evening
Is singing to me from the light in your eyes,
We can count on
each other to move to the beach of tomorrow
And know where we've been. |
