Cloudy eyes , before the rain descends
A sudden knowing -how all tenderness begins
I'll find a beam of light to catch my sigh
Let my gaze brew a stream where clear skies lie
You speak of shores , yet linger in my tide
As seasons shift , the past grows light inside
A rhythm like a cello's gentle string
Learning the art of breathing , calming everything
To walk beside you , ' neath the phoenix tree's shade
Like twin-leaf veins awaiting wind's serenade
The longest night will finally meet the dawn
We'll plant the foot prints where the clouds are drawn
Cloudy eyes , before the rain descends
I've learned how all the softness find s its way
I'll find a beam of light to catch my sigh
Let my gaze brew a stream of newborn day
Cloudy eyes , about to weave the rain
I've learned to turn each teardrop to a seed
You'll find your beam of light , hold your own breath
And watch the morning rise from where you bleed
We met within a fold of time's own hand
With dew unfolded , smiles like wings expand
If we meet again , I'll need the whole sky's air
Or my heart will fade-you're the sunset 's brush stroke there
I live inside tomorrow's opening theme
Where stories hide their rhymes , a hidden gleam
Waiting for one bloom to answer earth's call
We'll rest art the dawn and soften every fall
When rainbows rise , I'll measure our shortest space
Life always blooms where roots embrace their place
Cloudy eyes , before the rain descends
I've learned how all the softness finds its way
I'll find a beam of light to catch my sigh
Let my gaze brew a stream of newborn day
Cloudy eyes , about to weave the rain
I've learned to turn each teardrop to a seed
You'll find your beam of light , hold your own breath
And watch the morning rise from where you bleed
Let my gaze deepen to a sunlit stream
And from now on , I'll gather dawn in both my hands
