You body fades into the backlight The long day is ending While somewhere it begins Our fingers wind to one another But you see a world between us Twirling on the head of a pin And April, we are not just two You are not just you And a thread runs through this In time will I leave what's mine? Will we learn to push the world away?
'Cause April this only eggshell We can break through if we try There is nothing real that separates The vision from the eye And April must we be divided When effortless you read my mind? For the singing hears the sparrow And the blue gives birth to sky And April comes to clean the winter Burns the grey and black to green In your breath I spring the forest wild To reach beyond the screen April do you hear my hearing? Are the islands not connected By some mythic engineering? We can bridge the space between
I swear I had a dream through your eyes And in the morning I did not know who I was We clutch to weathervanes and sundials Praying for the moon to pull us Closer into one And April don't you give up now Crying on account Of the skin that binds you I feel summer's coming soon When the moths and trees and the heart entwine
