We'll Love
With the Peace I Need

Etc.
We'll Love
2/12/99, revised 4/19/99

we'll stumble through the arbor gate
and know the two of us can't wait
to find a sprout of love
and then
we'll pick it from the hands of god
and make it grow just where we've trod
it's us, you know

we'll love:

we'll take a walk down someone's lane
and conversation's deep, wide vein
will exile all our tears
and then
we'll fall in love inside the gate
and hope we'll never have to pray
for joy again

we'll love:

we'll hide beneath a spreading tree
hide from the rain, just you and me
and laughter's countenance
and then
we'll laugh about our fear of rain
and dash around and feel the pain
just slide away

we'll love:

we'll travel to the corner store
and make ado with less-is-more
you'll let me hold your hand
and then
we'll make a home of joy and straw
and live and love within its flaws
i'll love you so.

short horizontal rule

With The Peace I Need
5/19/99

dance a circle, come around again
blur the chasm between now and then
there's a story that i can't deny
give it time and it'll tell you why

and the day i can fade away is the best
all the rest are fallen dreams
so much more is behind that door, it's the best
nothing else is what i need

broken daylight hanging from a tree
such a distance between you and me
bring a friend, we'll celebrate the loss
this is something that you'll never gloss

haunting strains of celestial plains are the best
all the rest are fallen dreams
symphony of an answered plea, it's the best
nothing else is what i need

waiting spirits sleep upon the shelf
and tomorrow we shall share the wealth
front and center's not too much to bear
i can't love you if you've never cared

and the day i can fade away is the best
all the rest are fallen dreams
so much more is behind that door, it's the best
nothing else is what i need

hope alive for me but dead for you
what i've done is given him his due
i'm not sure if you're aware i'm here
when i'm gone, you'll know i'm nowhere near

time comes near, but the notes i hear are the best
all the rest are fallen dreams
clock strikes twice, poor man's paradise is the best
nothing else is what i need

spoken words reviving written thoughts
walk astray, but is it what you've taught?
there's a case for you to vainly plead
i'll be dying with the peace i need
