Be the apple of my eye Be the apple of my eye Every glance and every sigh All the colors arrive Come along darling, won’t you come on with me When the paths are cut low you can find your relief Take a deep breath, you’re shaking hard like a leaf The castle will hold if you give it belief I’ll take in all I can take The river stays lower til I get to the gate I’m hoping that I find you and I’m begging you wait I’m know I’m not there, but I’m willing to change For the apple of my eye For the apple of my eye in every shelter that you build I will stay until your still Come along darling, won’t you come on with me The higher that you climb is the further you see a wandering soul can become more complete When your vision gets dull, you can do this for me I’ll take in all I can take I never fully knew you til I saw this awake I’m still a branch grafted you can give it a shake I’m know I’m not there, but I’m willing to change I’m know I’m not there, but I’m willing to change For the apple of my eye Be the apple of my eye Every kiss and every touch I’m an overflowing cup

I can’t tell if I’m falling or I’m lifting Am I on fire or sinking? But you know, I’m all in I haven’t felt myself since, But more than I’ve ever been Hold me close, Hold me close for I am all in for you, for you, for you for you, for you, for you Oh it’s better than magic Oh it’s better than real The danger is I’m safe here. Full with aching My racing heart is staying cause you know, I’m all in And this will be my first time to reach an ending don’t let me go, don’t let me go for I am all in for you, for you, for you for you, for you, for you Oh it’s better than magic Oh it’s better than real What a beautiful bending, what a beautiful light Every wind is ascending Reaching out for us this time All the tragic endings, all the hard times Wove us into the moment of reaching out for us this time

I caught the vision early I saw it with my own eyes I built the wings too quickly ready for the flight My eyes are on the skies, sure the wind is on its way We’ll lift into the lovely for a day Honey, be kind, love is slow It takes it in time, but it’ll show Can’t you see it running? Can’t you hear it humming? running? becoming something? Honey, be kind, love is slow You’re fighting off the lonely You see it with your own eyes and you see it only without an end in sight Watching for the lines; touch another page and read aloud the story for our sake Honey, be kind, love is slow It takes it in time, but it’ll show Can’t you see it running? Can’t you hear it humming? running? becoming something? Honey, be kind, love is slow It takes the time it takes, it takes the time, the time it takes it takes the time it takes, love is slow

Take a gander on the wind, on the wing Leading through the fray And the pace of everythin Like a rider on the storm Hearing all the church bells sing Ah let em ring. All the patience that you lost on the way I sense all your regrets at the way things played I know it’s better now as we take it day by day And day by day And day by day And still the sky is filled with the sound of so many wings Keeping all the promises and watching over me Loudly christening There’s a garden and grave by where we lived With strings over the park where the music lifts And by the waters edge I’d pray in a trinity of Limbs Still reaching in Still reaching in And still that sky is filled with the sound of shimmering leaves Keeping all the promises and watching over me Loudly christening How do you know me now? How do you know me? How do you know? How do you? How do? How?

The summer sun has fallen hard on you and everyone So put your golden hand in mine This stolen time is yours and mine Don’t go don’t slip don’t pull away Don’t drift don’t lift yourself away Stay with me stay with me Let’s wash our hands of all of this Let’s find ourselves within a kiss Stay with me stay with me The summer sun has blessed the trip our lips name what’s to come Without a breath to what’s been done Let’s rest our skin ‘til morning runs Don’t go don’t slip don’t pull away Don’t drift don’t lift yourself away Stay with me stay with me Let’s wash our hands of all of this Let’s find ourselves within a kiss Stay with me stay with me We got our eyes on all the sites Keep them right looking into mine Stay with me stay with me We’ve got our eyes on 1 million things But tonight this is what we need Stay with me stay with me

Bury me in the dark and I’ll raise with light Cover me in the sand and I’ll wash upon these shores again I will give this love to you, you will feel this love You will give this love to me, I will feel this love Broken bones from the fall, awake on sleepless nights Out of breath from the call, and digging in that darkened well I will give this love to you, you will feel this love You will give this love to me, I will feel this love Throw it out to the sea Crush it under the weight ‘Cause the bitten hand still feeds and is still making this place safe You give it all, you give it all You give it all Pour it out for the crowd Break it off for the earth Bless the distance within That’s reaching out for all its worth You give it all, you give it all You give it all
