A Hundred Million Suns

What if this storm ends? 
And I don't see you 
As you are now 
Ever again 


The perfect halo 
Of gold hair and lightning 
Sets you off against 
The planet's last dance 


Just for a minute 
The silver forked sky 
Lit you up like a star 
That I will follow 


Now it's found us 
Like I have found you 
I don't want to run 
Just overwhelm me 


What if this storm ends? 
And leaves us nothing 
Except a memory 
A distant echo 


I want pinned down 
I want unsettled 
Rattle cage after cage 
Until my blood boils 


I want to see you 
As you are now 
Every single day 
That I am living 


Painted in flames 
All pealing thunder 
Be the lightning in me 
That strikes relentless 


[II - The Sunlight Through The Flags] 


From here the caravans are kids toys 
And I can hold them all in my palm 
I watch the sea creep round the corner 
It connects the dots from here to you 


The sunlight burning through the loose flags 
Painted high on white church walls 
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart 
Until I'm out of breath for trying 


Worry not everything is sound 
This is the safest place you've found 
The only noise beating out is ours 
Lacing our tea from honey jars 


These accidents of faith and nature 
They tend to stick in the spokes of you 
But every now and then the trend bucks 
And you're repaired by more than glue 


Worry not everything is sound 
This is the safest place you've found 
The only noise beating out is ours 
Lacing our tea from honey jars 


Why don't you rest your fragile bones 
A minute ago you looked alone 
Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry 
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky 


[III - Daybreak] 


Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands 
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church 
The one on the corner you said frightened you 
It was too dark and too large 
to find your soul in 


Something was bound to go right sometime today 
All these broken pieces fit 
together to make a perfect 
picture of us 
It got cold and then dark so 
suddenly and rained 
It rained so hard the two of 
us were the only thing 
That we could see for miles and miles 


And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth 
When you held onto me like I was 
your little life raft 
Please know that you were mine as well 
Drops of water hit the ground 
like God's own tears 
And spread out into shapes like 
Salad bowls and basins and buckets 
for bailing out the flood 


As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs 
You take off your raincoat and 
stretch out your arms 
We both laugh out loud and surrender to it 
The sheer force of sky and 
the cold magnet Earth
