the lovers:

we talked all the blues
that you've been through
as I watch your eyes
I saw all the cries
then you run in my mind
all this travel time

and I'm thinking what if you were the thinking man?
would you think of all the possibilities of us
and could we standstill this way?

we laughed all the fun
all the days I ran
in the field I grew up
and all the flowers I fed up
in the greens and the blue blue sky
you laughed and your voice was so high

you asked why I make everything rhymed?
I answered, you're a literate man

you said...
"I know we'll be moving somewhere apart
but I think this time there's a part of me
that I wanna stay right by your side
We know we'll outgrow each other to the ways we go
but can't we go together or standstill?
I wanna stay right by your side
standstill, I ain't moving."

we stopped while it rains outside
you looked at me, what a mystery
and you lean on and hold my hands
I know we're taking it seriously
and you whispered slowly,
"would you run with me?"
