Verse riff
Late in the evening I think upon,
You and I on the tree and the stone.
My love for you is natural,
self evident like the tree and the stone,
Self assured, freedom of form.
GWhy would we ever second guess,
when Dwe both say the first mind is best,
CSteadily we become,
So Glet it run, let it run.
Interlude
GAnd how many times must we be stunned,
DEvery star is a rising sun.
CI'll be leading on,
Gyou be leading on.
Verse riff
Stuck with the forces,
and spin with the moon.
Pull in the tides,
and you back to me soon.
Back to me soon.
Darling I pull back to me soon.
