|
if I can't keep it |
|
at least let me call it by name |
|
that was called falling |
|
this is called pain |
|
it's called love, what I'm losing |
|
I know love is a stranger |
|
I know that changes come |
|
I know love is a changer |
|
I'm gonna go quietly |
|
you don't have to tell me to |
|
just let me lie here a little longer |
|
next to you |
|
I'm not trying to bother you |
|
I'm just trying to breathe you in |
|
and then I will leave you there |
|
where you are sleeping |
|
but speaking of loving you, I do |
|
I'm telling you stranger to stranger |
|
whatever changes come to you |
|
I'm telling you changer to changer |
|
morning has stolen your shadow from me |
|
but I hold its shape in my mind |
|
it's the shape of your back when you turned it on me |
|
one last time |
|
out in the waking world |
|
nobody understands |
|
exactly how light it is |
|
exactly how free I am |
|
one minute I'm laughing |
|
and the next one I'm lost |
|
I'm watching the birds fly by |
|
I'm watching the highways cross |
|
speaking of loving you, I do |
|
I'm telling you stranger to stranger |
|
whatever changes come to you |
|
I'm telling you changer to changer |
|
if I can't keep it, at least let me call it by name |
