The Minutehand

Sweetness, would you tell me one more time about your love for me?

I swept you off your feet

In dreams you filled my heart with song

And in daylight hours, 

I’m humming with the flowers when I can't see you


The wind, patient as it stirs

There’s no need for answers 

I’ll fall down next to her

Honey, you say you’ll be home soon

On so little sleep

In a town where the hills are steep

I’ll find you in my dreams


And so for now,

I lounge around

But time won’t rest so I leave the minutehand behind


Sweetness, the summer’s growing near

The leaves our decorations

For all the roads we drive

I long for lazy afternoons on the silver beach

The ocean’s gentle hands 

We’ll draw our names in sand 


And so for now,

I lounge around

But time won’t rest so I leave the minutehand behind


Blue mountain skies

They live in her eyes

And time won’t rest so I leave the minutehand

Time won’t rest so I leave the minutehand

Time won’t rest so I leave the minutehand behind
