time with you

oh the water warms
a cold march day
what words do you have?
what words do you want to say?
it’s a long, long time for a day.
it’s a long, long time for a day.
for a day,
no two are the same
not for you
time moves by
rain in the street,
rivers to the sea
it’s a long, long rise to the sky
falling down
filling your bath
oh the water warms
this time with you

i’ll tell you this is what i know:
life is brutal
life is brief
its tragedy and grief
it ends in the ground
and starts in compromise
but if you can love it than you’ve done –
if you can love it then you’ve won
it you can love it then you’ve done
all there is to do
[chorus]
so before the stars burn out
and time slips away
and before our bodies wear out
and the years have their say
and before we all fall down
well, it’s a lot to feel
so i’ll breath it all in
and i’ll breath it all out
there are streets in Philadelphia
where houses once stood
families were born, and life was good
but the people had to leave
and the houses all fell down
grass grows in the street now
and nothing can be found
so for all the things we do
and for all the things we say
nothing can stop us from turning out that way
[chorus]
there's a phone in my pocket
and a map up on the wall
one makes this world seem bigger
and one makes it seem so small
so we'll talk on the phone
about what we did today
teach each other our lives
and make this distance go away
[chorus]

morning follows
the rain won’t let up
the river is high now
hours rush
children grow up
landscapes move
skipping stones across the day
things we measure
and river stones
the rivers high now
hours rush
children grow up
landscapes move
the feel of water
morning follows

somewhere in between the wish and worry
time has taught me well to lay my head
here and gone, on and on
four walls for as long as i have
what are walls if only taller
hands for holding
lay my head and lift my eyes

all grown up

when our boys are all grown up
and they set out on their own
I'll think back on these days we’ve had
in this year we’ve spent at home
well everything just felt the same
sometimes it made us feel insane
sunshine and rain everyday
but even with all this time
the days are long and the years are short
never quite enough
always just keeping up
we’ll catch our breath someday
when our boys are all grown up
when our boys are all grown up
well the baby is just eight months
and our first is five years old
and the joy and love and light they’ve brought
it’s more than our hearts can hold
they’re just as sweet as can be
they have no idea of the world they’ll see
and we’ll keep it like that for as long as we can
we’ll take the love we’ve grown
the home we built
and the life we’ve made
and fill their hearts with love
and show them they’re enough
and know they’ll be ok
when our boys are all grown up
when our boys are all grown up
now lets talk about you and me
and the changes that we see
the people we were
the people we’ve grown to be
from laughing the way kids do
to the hard times of early last year
we fall apart and we come back a little more true
life can be so rough
in a world in disarray
but this time has been a gift
and memories will warm our hearts
when we look back on these days
when our boys are all grown up
when our boys are all grown up
