I saw your eyes up in the mountains
Quaking aspen and iris bloom
I read a poem in lines in marble
I read the names on a tomb
Closed my eyes and felt my heartbeat
Rise from darkness like a womb
Maybe the stars love the moon
The way I do
I thought I saw you in the city
As I watched the world blur by the train
There was a smiling-eyed old woman
Who looked at me and looked away
I smelled the bread of bakers a-rising
I heard the happy laugh of friends
Maybe I'll be back again
Another time
I looked into that endless ocean
Lay with a lover on the shore
Held to our ears a spiral seashell
Heard the blood inside us roar
We wandered out into the water
Laughed into that sea-salt wind so cold
Maybe someday when we're old
We'll think of this
