And the truth of it is
When the light hits the wind
It might be everything we need
Honey-colored blind spot
Of sleeping in the sun
Draw a breath and wonder how
All the roads not taken
Turned out to be the ones
I’m walking with you
Once and for now
And the weight of it is
Carried off by the breeze
That circled back to bring us here
Broken alleys wander
Into the afterglow
Where the closing day allows
Shadows from the hillside
To reach a life below
I’ll climb down with you
Once and for now
And the joke of it is
The rest of the world is falling apart
Half headache, half hyperbole
But maybe for the first time
My heart is beating clean
And if that’s enough for you
It can be enough for me
From a house of ashes
To towers pulled from stone
From a promise to a vow
Caught between familiar
And totally unknown
We’ll bridge that distance
Once and for now
Clear and a million
Clear and a million
