Feel the Same


Hanging a song on another wind
It was timeless and time all the same
These words are a blessing
A breaking away, away

And all of the stories of why you came
They get prettier every time
You are something special,
You sing the way we sigh

And I thought about changing my name
And then moving far away
And wherever you are I know
You feel the same

And love is a pattern of drifting wood
In its own kind of watery smile
Who hides with the maker of night
And stays a child

And saving the best of what’s left of you
For the one who has stolen your seat
And too many questions
Will grind away your teeth

And I thought of the sun going
Down over there, and thank it
For the day
And wherever you are I know
You feel the same

The longer we’re standing here breathlessly
Are we making a bigger mistake
By taking the matter at hand
Into the grave?

But wouldn’t you wanna know anyway
Where you heart was just dying to go?
And hope is a whittling down
Of what you know

And I thought of something we might’ve said
About doing whatever it takes
And wherever you are I know
You feel the same

The colors you drew in the country air
Like a willing and shattering fire
Too hard were the benches
Too cold were your desires

And tell me again what you’re doing these days
With that beautiful, curious face
The lines of your memory
Are breaking away, away

And I thought about nothing particular
And down came the rain
And wherever you are I know
You feel the same
