The First Time
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.
Lay you down
Soft and low
Neath the starlight
Where shadows grow
Hear the water
Kiss the shoreline
Come to me
For the first time
Old horizons
Left behind
Promises
Returned in kind
See the lovers
In the half light
Look to me
For the first time
Over days
We will surrender
Past the borders
We have made
I'll take you home
Hold me closer
Let it go
Nobody is watching
Nobody knows
Let the lines blur
Shut your eyes
Come to me
For the first time
Over days
We will surrender
Past the borders
We have made
I'll take you home.
I'll take you home
I'll take you home
Over days
We Will surrender
Past the borders
We have made
If only, you would stay
I'd take you home
I'd take you home
I'd take you home
I'd take you home
