Hide away with me

In our little pocket of time

Glimpsing through our fingers

Sunlight streaming in

The world set aglow

 

Grass sweeping the floor

Strong man's soft daughter

Tip-taps of rain on the roof

Warm sheets fresh from the dryer

Folds I can crumble into

Without checking the weather

 

Chasing precious, fleeting feelings

Breathe them all, in and out

Yes and no, maybe so

Settle in my chest cozily

A nest for you to

Be comforted by

 

See me where the sun sets

Feeling too much like home

Streets are the same

Tender eyes that can only touch

For just this moment

Like a mistaken pen marking

 

Come back when I'm big and strong

Living what's left of the American dream

But maybe a whisper in my ear,

Simple mornings that mute the world,

Happiness with the right one,

And enough loving to fill my heart with,

Come and follow me down the road
