take me over your palace walls my magic word drifts high as my chest my heartbeat melts a line of helpless steps
deep winters where the clocks crept undersea and left forgiveness spinning from a golden reel across the field i drop my shield and run the last mile home
(i belong with you there i belong
ashes in the air)
but always the departures plunging elevators with my new lives inside all those unkind good-byes
star of love let your snow-streaked hair down for me again you are my return through the storm my tightrope to the light above the door
free here i’m in a city under siege and there a lamb she’s gathered in her golden fleece you rescued me you rescued me
but what do i do now
what new day promises getting closer all of those days are over just come and climb with me in the sun
