its hard enough knowing

Let's read the trees and their autumn leaves

As they fall like a dress undone

At the end of summers, love will find lovers

Who need the shadow of a winter's sun



Don't tell me you're leaving

We can hide in the evening

It's getting darker than it should

If we read the leaves as they blow in the breeze

Would it stop us now, my love?



Time enough for hard questions,

time enough for all our fears

Time is tougher than we both know yet

time enough for tears



The moon is milk and the sky

where it's spilt, it's magic

And we all need to believe

that we can wake in the dream

It's not as hard as it seems

you know, it's harder to leave



Time enough for being braver,

time enough for all our fears

Time is tougher than we both know yet

time enough for tears



I heard you say

underneath your breath some kind of prayer

I hear
