If I could fly . . .

Why wouldn't I?

I just want you here.
I want the ferns
and a soft breeze
and your soft skin.
Go where I wander.
Be where I rest.
Breath deeply
every part of me.
I will pour into you
what's been dammed.
Receive me
as I receive you.
You unfetter my wings.
Help me do damage
to every mime's box.
I see more clearly
through your window.
Breath me in.
Push me forward
into new dances.
Every cliff
will never hold us.
Take my hand.
Keep my hand.
Be the music
inside my head.
Where are you?
I need you
to fill up everything.

Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
If we roll from town to town and never shut it down

Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
And would it be okay if I didn't know the way

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl

Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Let me know if you're really a dream
I love you so, so would you go with me

Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
Could you not look down forever
If you were lighter than a feather
Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl

Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me
