With Hope In My Breath

With hope in my breath

Every morning, I wake with the question

Did I dream you or are you of this place?

To my amazement, the answer is yes

Don't know what to do from here

But I've learned when I don't know, best to do nothing

Until the answer comes clear

Oh, but oh, to be in your arms again

Oh, to be in your arms

Head half in the clouds

Half in your mouth

You did it

You led to me to the edge of your impossibly gorgeous shore

And whispered, "Do it for love"

Well, come on now

The water's warmer than you could ever imagine

Just imagine

Before we became the lovers

You waited with me in the long line for the girls' room

And under my velvet jacket

I felt the buttons down the back of my blouse come undone on their own

Are you undressing me with your mind?

An unfamiliar kind of weather?

Some unknown power playing us?

Have we no control at all?

The answer is clear

The answer is yes
