lyrics

Five years pass like a drop of rain
Like a fleeting smile from a moving train
Like a freeway ramp—on then off again
Like a street lamp bright that won’t stop showin green
Like a breeze that blows a sweet fragrance in
And then carries it away again
But I hope to find a settling,
And I hope to find it soon
Like a moment stopped in the in-between
I hope to rest with you

I’ve barely found my wayward breath
That I lost the first time that we met
I haven’t grown immune to your presence yet
To your kisses, to your beating chest,
I still dream about that first time you danced,
I held flowers, you held me entranced
And I hope to find a settling,
And I hope to find it soon
Like a moment stopped in the in-between
I hope to rest with you

Like a summer day, your eyes they shine
Like a perfect flame, your skin on mine
And I just can’t get enough…

Then comes the morning light, that uninvited friend,
for the spinning world, calls me from your bed
but like a moth to a flame, your pasture draws me in
What a feast I’d glean! Oh what a rich harvest!
And I hope to find a settling,
And I hope to find it soon
Like a moment stopped in the in-between
I hope to rest with you
