Only the faintest
only the faintest glance
buries you, buries me

So fire your engine
See if I give a damn
We'll be dust instantly

Caught in a jet stream
caught in a gorgeous howl
All the world lost in noise

Use me forever
use me for rocket fuel
I'll be air, I'll be fire

You say you love me like the silence of the turning Earth
You say you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years

What will you remember
what will you think of me
after I say goodbye?

Returning in bodies,
plants and the sand you'll squeeze
in between shoeless feet

I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days
I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin
I know I love you like the million times I never said

I know you love me like the silence of the turning Earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of modern of life
I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past, the now, the coming years
