Lyrics

40 Years In
Lunarity

Glance over at you over coffee,
catch stolen glances tossed past me,
wonder how love ended this way.

Dreams stashed in the bottom drawer,
bags on stand-by the door.
Polite conversations fill up empty space,
waiting for someone to come steal us away.

Someone to sing to so tenderly,
gaze in wide wonderin’ what it all means.
Caught up in the rush of the incoming tide,
their face on our dreams.

A shy smile from across the way,
longing rushes in; doubt wipes it away,
leaving only lonely ties that bind.

Prayed you’d come take me away,
realized it just don’t work that way.
A turn of the page, shut up in our cell,
we can only save ourselves from our own hell.

Yet we cling to someone so tenderly,
gaze in wide wonderin’ what it must mean.
Swept up by the rush of the incoming tide,
their face on our dreams.

A love forever for always,
will another come along?
Change some words, rewrite a few lines,
I’ll be yours as long as you can be mine.

We’ll sing to each other so tenderly,
gaze in wide wonderin’ what it could mean.
Dive into the rush of the incoming tide,
your face on my dreams.

Gaze at you over morning coffee,
catch you steal a glance at past me.
