The branches hold the dew
the lake it holds the moon and the distance disappears
reflection moves in time
and weathers ripples fine
as if the moon were here
But there’s a cloud between me and you
It’s hard for light to make it through
and I know the distance grows
This rope around in my chest
is pulling me out west
though what we have is fine
your roots are growing stronger
my time away is longer reflections out of line
But there’s a cloud between me and you
It’s hard for light to make it through
and I know the distance grows
and if the sun shines down and warms the ground
and lifts the fog will we see it all?
There’s a cloud round both of us
its getting hard for us to trust
the sun will shine- we’ll feel its glow the distance grows
