Another Layer of Nuance

We ran into some trouble late last night

We hashed it out at breakfast, I think we'll be all right

We said that it was over, decide it's not

Looking at what we've got

We live on different planets, share no space

A spirit from your vibe tribe can turn up anyplace

We meet up at the corner of here and there

Living this love affair

Each and every hour, I learn a little more about you

Bit by curious bit, I'm less inclined to be without you

Day by night by day, I find another layer of nuance

Another layer of nuance

You drive me up your mountain, way up high

Point out a charm of goldfinches dancing by

Delight to see my spirit taking wing

And say the sweetest thing

You say

"Each and every hour, I learn a little more about you

Bit by curious bit, I'm less inclined to be without you

Day by night by day, I find another layer of nuance

Another layer of nuance"

You see the hidden patterns in the chaos

Possess a courtesy I thought was lost

Make nothing of your attributes

And never count the cost

You know how many constitutions France has had

You know the way to soothe me when I feel bad

My dear, how smart you are

My own dear heart, you are

When I cry, you go

"Honey, honey"

You left an angry message late last night

I stayed awake 'til sunrise, we might not be all right

I feel as if it's over, or needs to be

Oh, my love, the misery

I prized the tender gift of your consideration

Was proud to light a flame in your imagination

Day by night by day, I found another layer of nuance

You'd go

"Honey, honey"

The way you fold a sweater

The way we connect

The soft endearments

In your regional dialect
