Highest Hopes

The beating wind through the cracks in your car

And your heart-shaped face in the dark

And we are smiling softly as we talk

And we are calm as clocks

I can feel your love like a rope

Thrown beyond us as we float

You awaken my highest hopes

You hold my hand and turn the other cheek

You laugh aloud when you can hardly speak

You are a wave that crashes on concrete

And we are thick as thieves

I can feel your love like a rope

thrown beyond us as we float

you awaken my highest hopes

The beating of a moth against my eyes

And I can almost hear it as it cries

A little sound of startle and surprise

And we are still as skies

I can feel your love like a rope

thrown beyond us as we float

you awaken my highest hopes
