A Better Time To Meet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never more in love than when I'm leaving
Never want you more than when you're gone
Never miss the wind that keeps me breathing
Till it leaves my lungs gasping for its song
You warmed the earth inside me with your bare hands
You took me by the heart and slowed its beat
The dirt within me turned and became money
With your digging and your constant burning heat
You came swiftly as a snowstorm in October
Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet
And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over
It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet
I never feel more found than when I'm wandering
I never feel more still than when I'm free
But to hear that quiet voice, I'd give up everything
To follow the soft sighing of the sea
You came swiftly as a snowstorm in October
Unexpectedly, you turned me into sleet
And if I could, I guess I'd love you ten times over
It's just I'd choose a better time for us to meet
