Hold Still

Your lips move too fast for me to read
All my thoughts are gone and scattered by the wind
The moonlight falls down on your face
I'm falling forward, falling in

I see the ocean in your eyes
I'm reaching for you
Tears reflecting darker skies
I'm all around you

I reach up to touch the ground
I'm here beside you
I feel the earth spin me around
I hold still for you

Moving closer moving in
Sky and earth and skin to skin
The thinnest membrane lies between
Where I end and where you begin

I see the ocean in your eyes
I'm reaching for you
Tears reflecting darker skies
I'm all around you

I reach up to touch the ground
I'm here beside you
I feel the earth spin me around
I hold still for you

I close my eyes
You take a breath
You close your eyes
Pictures in your head

I feel the earth spin
I hold still for you
