Closer To The Sun

Downtown in the fall, across the sidewalks

The leaves will all make fossils, left behind

Balancing your life this way against mine

I know you're in me somewhere

I have the marks to prove of this

Closer to the sun, out in the open farms

To the reason for this growing, I will come

And you will be near and I am not old

When we are close together we are young

If I had no arms to fold into

If I had no joys to breathe back to you

Surely this could slow the life of mine

Surely this could stop the love of mine

Far from everyone, down where the river runs

To the reason for this valley, I will come

And wash myself there of all of my cares

Through mystery and water there is love

There is love

If I had no arms to fold into

If I had no joys to breathe back to you

Surely this could slow the life of mine

Surely this could stop the love of mine
