My Dear

My body's in the summer storm And my mind is with the feeling after Old memories I can't let go I'm moving on but they run faster My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by My body says the water's cold But my mind will have a way to cross it And I know I held the time so dear And the feeling it was here, I lost it My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by In a patch in the forest Little bells hang from the tree And I ring them so gently What if you heard me now, my dear? My body's with the birds in me But my mind is with the times they're leaving I want them but I let them go There's a sparkle in the dust I breathe in My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right Stillness in the ways I try And then you walk on by My morning is empty and the streets are wide I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh Stillness in the ways I try As I lean into the morning light It's like my body's in some other town And then you walk on by
