Eclipse

At the end of your story my journey begins
As I look through the window of longing again
It's an ancient eclipse that I know from before
But I don't want to feel anymore

It began with those everglade mornings anew
But I can't fight the pain when I'm looking at you
I can feel the world tremble right down to the core
And I don't want to feel anymore

And the years will go by and I'll love you the same
But I know that I'll always be lonely again
It's the moments I die that I finally come back alive

When the tears in my eyes take me so far away
I think back to that moment when everything changed
I need someone to know that I'm dying to just stay alive

On the steps of your presence my life took its form
Those apple trees witnessed a chapter reborn
But the writing of love showed its perilous core
That I'll never explain anymore

I think of you often when endings draw near
As the silence consumes me I always can hear
That proverbial ache on those delicate shores
That I'll never contain anymore

And the years would go by and you'd love me the same
And I'd realize I'll never be lonely again
It's the moments I die that I finally come back alive

And the tears in my eyes are my greatest escape
From that beautiful moment when everything changed
It's that infinite, intimate, faraway mystery of life

When I'm out in that field and I look to the skies
I can see you right there with that old crooked smile
It's the impossible union of everything once in a while

And at the end of it all I'll look into your eyes
And see nothing but love when the world passes by
I can't help but believe that you've always been there by my side

And the end of my story is where yours will start
The darkness will show us who we really are
When you look in that mirror we'll be looking back
And just maybe those moments will last
