Payin' to be Apart

Did that shooting star up in the sky Put the little twinkle in your eye? It can't be mine, no no Did the parts of you that look like me Live before recorded history? Why would I call you mine? You're your own You're your own I long to see you run to me Watching you smile as we draw near Rock you in the sunlight Wrap you up in stillness, and kiss Away your worry until one of us gets hungry But I'm here Paying to be apart Paying to be apart Running between my art and you If you were here I'd stop my workin' Name the trees and every bird That joins our stream of sweet unfettered singing Reach out to hold everything Without owning anything Watching moments live and die With wonder as the one thing driving us, but I'm here Paying to be apart Paying to be apart Running between my art Paying to be apart Paying to be apart Running between my art and you Once there was a supernova But little parts drew back together Slowly making suns and moons like this one When we look up to the sky That's the stuff You and I The cradle that each one of us is born from Here Paying to be apart Paying to be apart Running between my art and you Paying to be apart Paying to be apart Running between my art and you Did that shooting star up in the sky Put the little twinkle in your eye? It can't be mine, no no So how could I call you mine? You're your own You're your own Willa, my will is moving through you We loved you long before I knew you Willa, my will is moving through you We loved you long before I knew you"
