[Verse 1]
My heart was misty-hued and lonely from missing you
Without you near, around me, man, was I blue
My eyes would show what I could not say while you were away
Even so, my tears would flow in endless, hopeless replay
Love was always only hearsay yet

[Verse 2]
I'd drift around town with downcast dreams in my pockets
Stumbling every step
Trying to motion my frozen feelings in thick-set flop sweats
My mind would echo with treacherous, senseless empty
My head was inept
Time was a pathway filled with regret

[Verse 3]
Life was just a trial of wanting things that are true now
Now it's something I can say aloud
Now that I know we two can make life anew
And come shining through

[Verse 4]
I'll make us a space inasmuch as love can do
A place safe from thunders made by fearlessness and wonders
Now that love has come, now that I have found you
[Verse 5]
I watch the sun rise on you and on the hour you wake
Not knowing waking from dreaming or remembering
Songs I sing you then, I hope you will hear
If ever you feel fear or coming to an end

[Bridge]
Love is the only thing to balance fearing
Loving the deepest depths appearing

[Verse 6]
Waiting too long for a sign you would come was what
Nearly killed the spirit in the house within me
And when you appeared, you brought an answer after praying
Like a sailor sighting landfall on horizons of green
Or sunrise after endless nights of burning scenes
Or having sense be restored to me

[Bridge]
Finally, the music has a reason to be singing

[Verse 7]
Hearing voices calling out of every corner of the city
Glittering pretty but it seemed like empty pity here
Chasing them, feeling a stinging
Searching to find a lasting thing
But always following whatever was flashing
People thought I had the mentality of a shambles
Or a house deserted
[Verse 8]
I remember stories of Orpheus and his love ruinous Euridice
Spirited away on their wedding day
Bitten by a snake upon the way and Euridice had to stay
In under-day, sad

[Verse 9]
Just as bad, Orphie had to stay up and lay up with us here
But without her, some stun
Can you just imagine living without it?
Love that was destined to perfect everything that was imperfect
But Orpheus went to play songs for the man

[Verse 10]
Jamming a plan, sounding a span
Taking a stand, burning in sand
Fanning the legend of the man who playing music
Made the sun to stand
And sad though the ending was, I can feel it 'cause
I would do the same for you 'cause

[Verse 11]
Knowing what we live is part of history
A mystery philosophic asked a thousand years ago
Living after living spent in killing or in giving or unwilling
Under-fulfilling a cosmic freak show
And in all that Shiva takes in closing one massive eye
Darkening sight and sky
Hundreds of lifetimes we must try hoping to break the cycle
And enter heaven's eye
But heaven's here, it comes clear
When loving is living and understanding giving power
[Verse 12]
Wonder when we'll get together or if life's a broken song
Just because we're so headstrong and we'll never get along
It seems like the throng meanders along
But just as sad as just as sappy just as angry just as scared as sad
You'd think we'd be happy just to be straight-standing
On the earth, every new date
Just to breathe in the air and to love every day away
We're given a life to try all our breath to mend the tears over the world
Where it is clear the world is broken
But still, the suffering and terrors go on
And every time I think we may be coming to the brink, the glue on
Something pushes us and down we fall to shatter in pieces

[Verse 13]
And that's why our teachers teach "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"
To the smallest ones
We need a fight song to keep us moving along
I should've sung it when thinking you gone
You weren't lost, you were coming
I'll teach you, I hope to
Give you love that shows you wonders that only love can show
And more than you'll ever know, I do love you so
You have got a light living in you, in with and through you
That's what a father's love should teach you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 14]
My life a heaven you are making, you have got me in the bag
You know I'm yours for taking home or for forsaking
I'll give my life up to make sure you're lacking nothing
That's the gist of it
You're the north, south, west, and Eden east of it all (I'm least of it all)
And so, my baby, then perhaps, then you will realize
I have found loving with you, you, you
You, I love you
