My Dear

My body's in the summer storm

And my mind is the feeling after

Oh, memories I can't let go

I'm moving on but they run faster

My moon is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I tried

And then you walk on by

My body says the water's cold

But my mind will have a way to cross it

And I know I held the time so dear

And the feeling it was here I lost it

My moon is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I tried

And then you walk on by

In a patch in the forest

Little bells hang from the tree

And I ring them so gently

What if you heard me now, my dear?

My body's for the birds and me

And my mind is for the times they're leaving

Oh, I want them but I let them go

Is a sparkle in the dust I breathe in

My moon is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right

Stillness in the ways I tried

And then you walk on by

My moon is empty and the streets are wide

I look for nothing and I feel all right, oh

Stillness in the ways I tried

As I lean into the morning light

It's like my body's in some other town

And then you walk on by
