The dance

[Song]

You & I
darlin’

Tequila & lemon,
salt, salt in
all our wounds

you & I
darlin’

we shimmer ‘n
shine,
flicker ‘n twist
grab the last bite
of twilight.

You & I
darlin’

were always
meant to be
meant to be
making music

& the words are
never enough
& the body tries
to understand

just how to be,
how to be,

a woman calling
to a man, a man
inclined to dance
on clouds, whisper
secrets.

You & I
darlin’

it's been a
long time coming,
coming home to us:

& the words are
never enough but
our melody sings in
the morning light
where the foxes howl
& you reach out
to find me.

You & I
darlin’

murmur soft sounds
impressions of forever

linger.

You & I darlin’
watch towers
tumble, wild dogs
baying at the moon,
continents shatter:

& the words are
never enough
& the body tries
to understand

just how to be,
how to be,

a woman calling
to a man, a man
inclined to dance
on clouds.

You & I
darlin’

all the questions
with no answers

you & I
darlin’

are just

making melody
making melody.
