Where I’ll Find You
I saw you there
Beside the light post
Your shoulders square
Against the night's cold
I blamed the wind when my legs shook
But your eyes, that hungry look
It shot through me
Didn't you see?
And now I dream
I dream of you and me
Out in the fall
Always the fall
I see the ground we walked and claimed
I see the place that holds the weight
The size of you
Oh what I'd do
Tell me where to land
I'll aim this ship onto your sand
Where I'll find you
Tie me to the banks and hold me
Safe from all the storms that form behind me
Out on the blank sea
And take my hands
My idle time
Push them to plant
The forms to find
That it was all we had to do
Reach the highest limb for fruit
That was for you
Only for you
