lyrics

Do you know I saw
You standing in the middle
Of the White River?
You were spilling everything
Your red backpack open
Upturned and emptied
I gave you a moment
But it was all I could do not to

Draw near, nearer still
Cos I will have you
Any form you’re in
I’d be vapor
I’d be freezing
Just to find you
In every season

So I’ll come wading toward you
Through dissolving paper
Waving at a distance
So you know it’s me
Approaching
And when you show me
Your countersign
I’ll know I can

Draw near, nearer still
Cos I will have you
Any phase you’re in
I’d be vapor
I’d be freezing
Just to find you
In every season

Draw near, nearer still
Cos I want to
Be sure you’re listening
Cos the word bank changes
Only to say the same old things
At new depth of meaning
Cos our love is
Our love is water

I don’t have any illusions
That I’m the one to save you
I’ll just be watching your yellow
Parachute descend
Like a retriever I’ll be there
When you land
I wanna make your sky open
In blooms
Of borrowed hues from
The blueberries
We’re gonna pick in South Haven
When we’re full
Of years and all the ways
We changed
Just to stay the same

So come crystallize with me
In living memory
All we do to keep
Ourselves bonded
Cos our love is
Our love is water
(So draw nearer still)

Baby I don’t want the truth of us
To always be
Liquid
I want a vow to keep

So draw near, nearer still
I will seek you
To the furthest end
I’d be vapor, I’d be freezing
Just to find the bride
Of my youth again
Cos our love is
Our love is water

And our life is a vapor
And time is fleeting
So let’s rehearse
Heaven and earth
Meeting
