Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We will kneel down in the reeds beside the water
We will float two paper boats down slowly and
River spiderwebs the map, breaking glass
I can't let shattering send us scattering like seeds into the wind
From the cattails bursting slamming on our skin
As we chase our vessels racing toward the lake I start to shake
When you wade down, ankles bare now, to go swim
And this is what I do now every day
Travel back and forwards either way
[Verse 2]
There's a village for us somewhere in northern Michigan
With a dirt road leading to a covered bridge
Where earlier we'd scurried off to check the cart the horse had drawn
For fuses, ore powder for the fourth
And in the nighttime the first of Venice lit
We will sneak back there in darkness just to kiss
And I'll panic at your image as the flesh split the rafter gaps
Terrified, you'll see my open eyelids
And this is what I do now every night
Try to somehow catch you in the light
[Verse 3]
As summer goes the leaves shift tone and float
As the canopy reverts to branch and bone
Downward tumbling inadvertently, stumble, steady me
I twirl you one quick circle, make your ankles show
And we laugh so hard I can no longer stand
And you look me in the eyes and take my hand
On the forest floor it's warmer than my bed has ever been before
Curled up tight together like an ampersand
This is what I do now all alone
Count the many things that make you home
[Verse 4]
When the snow falls we will wrap ourselves in furs
Lie beside the stove and stoke the fire
Make the embers roar a little more, snowdrifts up the cabin door
You glow and we speak slowly growing tired
So let the winter freeze each corner of the Earth
Bury everything I've had in frozen dirt
If I could travel back in time and find you follow always right behind you
I'd live at any age and start from birth
Because this is what it is that pulls me through
But you belong to me and I to you
