| If I can’t keep it
|
| At least let me call it by name
|
| That was called falling
|
| This is called pain
|
| It’s called love, what I’m losing
|
| I know love is a stranger
|
| I know that changes come
|
| I know love is a changer
|
| I’m gonna go quietly
|
| You don’t have to tell me to
|
| Just let me lie here a little longer
|
| Next to you
|
| I’m not trying to bother you
|
| I’m just trying to breathe you in
|
| And then I will leave you there
|
| Where you are sleeping
|
| But speaking of loving you, I do
|
| I’m telling you stranger to stranger
|
| Whatever changes come to you
|
| I’m telling you changer to changer
|
| Morning has stolen your shadow from me
|
| But I hold its shape in my mind
|
| It’s the shape of your back when you turned it on me
|
| One last time
|
| And out in the waking world
|
| Nobody understands exactly how light it is
|
| Exactly how free I am
|
| One minute, I’m laughing
|
| And the next one, I’m lost
|
| I’m watching the birds fly by
|
| I’m watching the highways cross
|
| Speaking of loving you, I do
|
| I’m telling you stranger to stranger
|
| Whatever changes come to you
|
| I’m telling you changer to changer
|
| If I can’t keep it, at least let me call it by name |
