lyrics

Singing your songs where the
Wind sings along and the
Waters embrace your reflections
Tending your lovers like
Trees in the forest
The shrine of your gentle affections

Knelt empty-handed and
Digging for answers
Where gardens fold into the meadow
You cry "Do I see now?"
And "Who can I be now
The seasons lay claim to my sorrow?"

Oh dance with me under the starlight
Oh dance with me under the moon so bright
Oh dance with me until the morning comes calling you
Out of the bones of the night

Oh that cabin still stands where the
Wood grazed your hands and the
Wild grass reached up to your window
The songs and the laughter
Still float to the rafters
The soft breeze still comforts the willow

Oh dance with me under the starlight
Oh dance with me under the moon so bright
Oh dance with me until the morning comes calling you
Out of the bones of the night

Once you went searching
For white gold and myrrh in
The blue of some wintery eyes
But time let you know that
It's okay to know that
Your love was too big for that sky
Your love was too big for that sky
Your love was too big for that sky

Oh dance with me under the starlight
Oh dance with me under the moon so bright
Oh dance with me until the morning comes calling you
Out of the bones of the night
