Once you tole' me 'bout the rising seas once you tole' me 'bout the moon above once you tole' me 'bout the southern pine trees once you tole' me that these roots can grow love we could crash and burn I'm still hopin that the tide will turn Just thought you might wanna know that it's possible It's not inevitable but it's possible I wanna be stronger I wanna run faster I wanna be kinder I wanna last longer I wanna fill our lives with serious laughter I wanna be kinder we could crash and burn I'm still hopin that the tide will turn We could simply learn how to let love grow oh, oh Just thought you might wanna know this is possible it's not inevitable but this is possible you might wanna know and this is possible it's not inevitable oh we could make this probable Once you tole me bout the rising seas Once you tole me bout the moon above once you tole me bout the loblolly trees once you tole me that these roots can grow love

Ahora yo tengo un sueño del amado Un Sueño mas dulce tán lo que he imaginado yo ahorita sea una muñeca y ahora un hueso de pie hay floraciones en cada célula de la piel y cada célula esta lista para brillar en tu cara allí, pero más cerca tán la corazón allá, pero más cerca tán la respiración ahi, en la brisa dulce de tu boca aquí, con el cuna de los brazos del cariño alrededor puede oír las llamadas de los pajaritos rojos me están llamando y cantando espero que tu sepas y existas en la vida real y vivante yo haría ser tuyo porque también quiero eso en nuestro mundo azul, pero más profundo tán el cielo marrón, pero más oscuro tán madera dura violeta, pero más poderosa tán un reino de un rey y dulce, más tán una rosa después de la lluvia

I thought I heard your voice, I knew I heard your tone and so I asked, who's singing, who's sung? Then I saw how my words, they stung Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong! I was looking to break the ice, well, you'd been melting it all along Well if it takes sixty-four years to melt the ice around this heart I pray we're both around to feel the heat from the flame you sparked you've kindled a fire do I inspire you, too? I know you'd go there if that's where I am please know I will walk there with you Oh that I had wings like a dove I would fly away and rest I'd find shelter in you away from the storm and together we'd build a nest show me how to build a fire show me how to heal a bone show me how to hold desire until we build a honeycomb home well I been waiting, feels like seventy years for the ice round this heart to melt either I heard your voice, or I never did hear I'll insist that was you I felt I love what you do to me I love everything that you do G-d bless the living you I love you when will we do this right? doubtless, tonight carry a song in your heart darling and be prepared for our song to be bright, love, be firm, for our song will be light we sang so sweetly now these many years ago these were the moments I was satisfied when we were singing soft and low in an instant, trembling heartbeat oh we were quavering gently and slow Oh that I had wings like a dove I would fly away and rest I'd find shelter with you away from the storm and together we'd build a nest I love what you do to me I love everything you do G-d bless the living you I love you I love you I love you I love you

Thou art my love and thou art the peace of sundown when the blue shadows soothe and the grasses and the leaves sleep to the song of the little brooks woe is me! Thou art my love and thou art a storm that breaks black in the sky and sweeping headlong drenches and cowers each tree and at the panting end there is no sound save for the melancholy cry of a single owl woe is me! thou art my love and thou art a wary violet drooping from sun caresses, answering mine carelessly woe is me thou art my love and thou art the ashes of other men's love and I bury my face in these ashes and I love them woe is me. thou art my love and thou art a temple and in this temple is an altar and on this altar is my heart woe is me. ah, g-d, the way your little finger moved as you thrust a bare arm backward and made play with your hair, and a comb, a silly gilt comb ah, g-d, that I should suffer so much because of the way a little finger moved Thou art my love and thou art death - aye, thou art death! black and yet black! but I love thee! I love thee! woah, woah, woah welcome woe to me. woe is me!
