Simple Stones

They leave us so, with no goodbye, to the way we took

Let's light a fire, make the forest glow

Watch the stars and the way they look

My heartbeat shakes the liquid in the cup you hold

Did your coffee get too cold?

You just pour it out and mark the ground

This is our ground

Seems like I was waiting to hear you say

"I'm right here next to you,"

Ok. I piece it together sometimes

When I'm right here next to you...Aha!

You purse your lips and blow the steam into my eyes

A tree beside the fire is bare,

So much better with no disguise

My heartbeat shakes the liquid in the cup you hold

And the branches in the cold

While a leaf drops down -the last one of the season

Seems like I was waiting to hear you say

"I'm right here next to you,"

Ok. I piece it together sometimes

When I'm right here next to you...Aha!

Seems like such a simple little thing to say

"I'm right here next to you,"

Ok, but I could build a fortress with simple stones

Right here next to you, you know

Can you see me

Can you feel me

Can you hear me

Can you know me

Can you love me

Can you show me

Can you tell me

I'm right here next to you
