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 hanging 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
