Right Here
Dim the lights, leave them shining faintly
This time of quiet really makes me sing
Her little hand in mine
So warm and sleep-defeated
Oh no, I'm listening, ah-ah

Here's to all the roads that we've been down
From flights to falls, embraced them all
"Long is the road." to both they say
Is that so?
Well, we're here now

On and on and on we play along
With our fears of wasting time, of that I'm so sure
To see the light that shines within through your eyes
I'm right here by your side

Your hands, they smell of sacred wood and basil
I always wear you well the morning after
I cut my orange into boats
Curtains startled by a breeze
Oh no, I'm listening, ah-ah

You knew me once, a girl in the heather
Our skins laid bare, a passenger to wonder
Yes, long is the road
The one that we have known
We shall know better, mm hmm
On and on and on we play along
With our fears of wasting time, of that I'm so sure
To see the light that shines within through your eyes
I'm right here by your side
I'm right here by your side
I'm right here

On and on and on we play along
With our fears of letting go, of that I'm so sure
To see the light that shines within through your eyes
I'm right here by your side

On and on and on we play along
With our fears of wasting time, of that I'm so sure
To see the light that shines within through your eyes
I'm right here by your side
I'm right here
Right here
