Do you know of love these things that swell
These things that scratch the heart
Against the bones of our chest
The marrow you know so very well
.
If only we could drown our sun in the sea
And float back time on bubbles of that steam
Sailing back to the innocents of our young dreams
Where the sum of yesterdays anointed you my queen
.
Remember the soft light against the moon
Our breath of youth growing in each kiss
The afterglow of surprise, oh baby even then
I knew your gardens grew in my eyes
.
And you, oh you, love in spectacular light
Dragging my wounded heart out from the dark
Daring me to look deeper into your passionate heart
How we both broke and cried creating new life
.
I know the swelling of the heart
I know the scratches against the bone
I know you, the ultimate surprise in life
I know where we’ll go when we die, too soon
.
Into the marrow of love
