You need not burn old bridges
to keep me by your side.
The sun anoints your smile
and the moon dwells in your eyes
No road has ever taken me
to this place where all my dreams come true
No pain could ever cut so deep,
to think our love was through.
At times, nightmares awaken me,
in a panic I reach to touch your hair
Your breathing reassures my tears,
Just knowing that you are there.
If the stars fall from the heavens
and angels forget how to pray,
if the ground demands our presence
and they carry us away
Mix our ashes in a bottle
and cast us to the sea.
Let us ride the tides of love
for all eternity.
