Keep me company in my dreaming
Call me up, tell me what you're thinking
I get the minutes and you keep the hours
But from the backroads, tell me, how are you doing?
I know sometimes, I drink you in sometimes
I drink you in like blue jars of rain
I keep a small light on, just to see your face
And in your quiet commitments, I tell you that
You walk the same roads as me
But in the small light, with the small gods
Around the corner from here, I love you, my dear
I want everything for you and it's enough for me
Just to look at you when you are looking back at me
I got a postcard from a roadside stand
Roses were stacked on a crate, one by one
And I can't remember what I used to be before now
Well, I know sometimes, but I forget sometimes
But in the small light, with the small gods
Around the corner from here, I love you, my dear
I want everything for you and it's enough for me
Just to look at you when you are looking back...
I rock the cradle by a wishing well
I pray for small things, for some small grace
I got my telescope from the back seat
I watched Jupiter and Europa meet
And at the angle, he kissed her
In the small space between her fingers
And in the small light, it was forever
And he was beautiful like you are beautiful
And in the small light, the grace of small gods
And if ever you hear, I love you, my dear
I want everything for you and it's enough for me
Just to look at you when you are looking back ... at me
