You've Got a Way with the Light

I love you today like the first night of May

We were waiting for the sun

The blossoms that fell were the first ones to tell

April’s come undone

Baby I’ll keep all the paintings you make

As the winter keeps the spring

You got a way with the light

I got the evening

The garden you laid on the warm saturdays

As the summer passed us by

It holds me in faith as the sky goes to grey

If only for a while

Baby I know that the fire’s getting low

And soon will fall to ash

But you got a shine in your eyes

That I won’t ever have

Never look down at the holes in the ground

Keep your eyes ahead

Burn like a ray through tomorrow

Today is already in the past

And when the day comes that tomorrow is done

And you are left behind

I’ll have the light in your eyes

And you’ll have all of mine
