May the Sun Rise Twice

how may we live today?
watching the clouds pass away..
feeling the grass grow beneath us
as they also slowly die away

lay next to us, you and I
without saying hello to save goodbye's
feeling our skin greet each other
hairs tingling we cover our shame

must I stay here all day?
the sun has dismayed his golden rage
humble stars take his place
scared they must brave darkness
for it is unknowing and too much to display

there's a warmth next to me..
you are still here beside of me!
o how puzzled my heart has become
wondering of all the things that I've done
simple timid things that I've done
mostly nothing things that I've done
to make you stay beside of me

and as all the thoughts race through my mind
simply nothing thoughts of mine
you inch nearer as the sun rise
and I have a feeling, but i don't know why
you inch nearer as the sun rise
and I have a feeling, but i don't know why
simply nothing thoughts of mine

you inch nearer as the sun rise
...and now your heart is close to mine

may the sun rise twice...
