This Is Why (For June)

... You were there when my world was bare
    As light making rainbow from my tear
    You held me like a candle hold its light
    When the winds put fallen leaves to flight
    You made me warm in the shawl of tomorrow
    I took your joy and you took my sorrow

    So lay me down here, I'm a treasure for you
    I'll shine for you, be the bridge for you
    The night has no dark for you, cross me
    Where the river rise, drink of me like a bee
    I'll be song for you, and in a drop of gold
    I condense the world, a treasure for your soul

    You are first morning kiss, my evening bliss
    The eternity that in sweet Eden I miss
    You made me from a dream of nothing, so I
    May see my diamond studded worth of sky
    And when the wind blows cold, you take me
    Home again, heart to heart, you solace me
