You and I have feasted on |
The golden apples of the sun, |
And sailed on wild, uncharted seas |
When day was done. |
Between two heartbeats we have known |
A long eternity of joy; |
We've soared above the fields of space, |
The stars, our toys. |
I give my heart and gain my soul, |
I'm only free when I am bound. |
Within the shelter of your arms |
I'm lost - and found. |
You and I have drunk the moon |
And time nor death cannot subdue |
The part of you that lives in me, |
And me in you. |
That part of me in you will see |
The kestrel quartering the sky, |
The endless play of night and day |
Caught in your eyes. |
That part of you in me will serve |
To ease the breaking of my heart, |
And guide me safely through the night |
When we must part. |
You and I
