Caught in the breath of the mountain
Tangling stars in your lashes
Caught in the breath of the mountain
Hearing your voice in the air like ooh
Tangling stars in your lashes
Wearing the wind in my hair like ooh
Carrying over the ocean
Your words settle into my chest like ooh
Tugging away at my heartstrings
Puddles of rain reflect back the moon
Moonlight
We lie alone only for a while.
We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world.
We give little thought of the machinery that
generates the sunlight and makes life possible.
To the gravity that glues us to the earth that
would otherwise send us spinning off into space.
Or to the atoms that which we are made,
and on who's stability we fundamentally depend.
Few of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is.
Where the cosmos came from.
Whether it was always there.
If time will one day flow backward.
Or whether there are ultimate limits to what humans can know.
What is the smallest piece of matter.
Why we remember the past and not the future.
And why there is a universe.
Caught in the breath of the mountain
Hearing your voice in the air like ooh
Tangling stars in your lashes
Wearing the wind in my hair like ooh
Carrying over the ocean
Your words settle into my chest like ooh
Tugging away at my heartstrings
Puddles of rain reflect back the moon
Moonlight
Why there is a universe.
We lie alone only for a while.
