A Better Time to Meet

Never more in love than when I'm leaving Never want you more than when you're gone I never miss the wind that keeps me breathing 'Til it leaves my lungs gasping for its song You warmed the earth inside me with your bare hands You took me by the heart and slowed its beat The dirt within me turned and became muddy With your digging and your constant burning heat But you came swiftly as a snowstorm in October Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet I never feel more found than when I'm wandering I never feel more still than when I'm free But to hear that quiet voice, I'd give up everything To follow the soft sighing of the sea But you came swiftly as a snowstorm in October Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet
