I Love, I Love

I heard love can fall so hard, it can bury a kingdom
I heard it makes the spring appear out of season
It's a storm in a shadowbox, a force to be reckoned with
When it finds you and find you, it will

And I'd never believe it 'til I loved, I love
The rivers sing and stars awaken above me
And the wind and the moon in fits of restless conspiring
Turn night to heaven for you

But I am going to a far, far land
I know it sure as I've a past and a future
With my maps on the table, you see I have lost many things
So many, I won't turn back

And were I a deadwood ship, my heart a compass
I would leave with inanimate grace, no love could touch me
But I live and I know that I'll burn as I grow
Though it may break my heart to walk away

And so as a moon may adore you and remain, high moon
The wind may crown your head with leaves and keep blowing
So I'll stop and I'll watch you, for I love, I love
And then be on my way and then be on my way
