I would shackle the sun
And drag it back down to earth
To warm the numb surrounding your heart
Soothe and till its soil
Troth my soul to its dirt
Plant my seeds of life and love
Deep within its hurt
And should a garden fail to bloom
I would dig to the center of the sun
And bring back its fiery core  to
Shine on only you
And plow the earth of your heart again
Plant more seeds of my love and life
And water the grounds with the tears
Of the flowers longing for your love
That dance and sing inside of me
And I will stay and never go until at last
I make a garden bloom and grow
And your heart has found
The warmth it needs
To love again
Then if you let me
I would take your hand and stay
And say I love you
With my every breath
And down every road
For all time to come
And shout it from the top of every tall mountain
And every tall tree
And from the bottom of my soul
While swimming in the deepest part
Of the deep blue sea
Holding your hand still
Long after time has come
To its end
