I set me down on the highest rock
On the hill at Big Sur
It was dark and all the stars were spread out wide
As wide as my love for her
I was sure that I was falling
I felt time and space extend
And I thought I heard her calling from the place
The place where words end
Where words end
That's where my love begins
And reaches just as far
As any distant star
Where words end
There'll be no might have beens
She'll be waiting for me there
Just across the river
Where all the words end
So I gave some thanks to silence
And for all the good it's done
As a brand new constellation
Bloomed in space
In the shape of my mother's face
In that starry dome of silence
You could have heard a falling pin
She was standing in a silver crown of grace
And I watched her stars ascend
Where words end
That's where my love begins
And reaches just as far
As any distant star
Where words end
There'll be no might have beens
She'll be waiting my best friend
Just across the river
Just across the river
Just across the river
Where all the words end
Where all the words end
