Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you

My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze

And of course I forgive

I've seen how you live
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
You pick up the pieces

And the ghosts in the attic
They never quite leave
And of course I forgive

You've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
My voices and !@#^ogies

Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeve


Strange how we know each other

Strange how I fit into you

There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
Strange how you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs


And with each passing day
The stories we say

Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our conviction
That some kind of miracle

Passed on our heads
And how I am sure
Like never before

Of my reasons for defying reason
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors

Both followed and led

Strange how we fit each other


Strange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals

For our eyes to see
Strange how this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree


So we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past

As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly drafted
To carve ourselves instruments

That play the music of life
For we don't realize
Our faith in the prize

Unless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity

Of you at my side
