Through This Clearing

Come and meet me where it's safer On some burning summer day A garden of rocks by a sun-warmed porch With the war against time at bay Watch the seasons take on deeper meanings for a change Come and meet me where it's safer When the cavalry falls away I'll be a place to hide the good days A place beneath the shade With still such a long life left to go With the stillness that carries you all the way home Through this clearing, I'll be there beside you And I can hardly wait To see you there With all the words drawn on your blinking face Come and find me while it matters Before the garden comes undone There is far too much I remember For me to keep on playing dumb Come and find me while it matters Admit you're just as scared as me So we can run off where We can bear to see these days turn to memories To leave the war behind in the blink of an eye To trust for once that it's enough we're both alive I won't be straying from your side Through this clearing, I'll be there beside you And I can hardly wait To see you there With all the words drawn on your blinking face And if they tell you that you're not worth the heartache Well I know that's not true And I will use my little lifetime just to prove it to you And through this clearing, I'll be there beside you I can hardly wait
