in our lives love has hid her face to save her heart from breaking

into feeling

in your eyes

joy gives way to pain

save your tears for the rain

visions stop at the ceiling

without each other

what would we be

we long to feel free

and in our dreams

we see

what we need



i hardly recognize myself it’s such a strange thing

to find another woman walking in my blue jeans

i’ve come so far and i’ve been so long away from home

i’m like a photograph who’s image is still changing

the letter that i never sent to you explaining

all i want is a place for my heart to belong



in our minds

we have weapons and cures for disease

and a light year in the instant that it takes us to conceive

without each other

where will we go

someday we will know

and if we want to

we will grow closer and closer together



i hardly recognize myself it’s such a strange thing

to find another woman walking in my blue jeans

i’ve come so far and i’ve been so long away from home

i’m like a photograph whose image is still changing

the letter that i never sent to you explaining

all i want is a place for my heart to belong
