Side by side
I am listening to your heart
Keeping time with mine
In the dark
This love is
A growing lifting note
Starts a lump in my throat
Every day
People say that when you know
Your heart beats fast and the earth
Moves slow
All my steps
Seem to flow in ¾ time
And I’ll never forget your face at my door
In the morning light
There was plenty of snow
Packed against the window
And our future hidden in a brown envelope
Saying
You are the light from the house on the shore
The light I was looking for
Now I know I will no longer roam
I just row my boat home
