I'll capture your soul in a jar
and keep it close to me
I'll carry it a distance so far
and set it by the sea.

Your soul will glow and gleam
and yearn to be let out
I'll open the lid and beam
let you be free and flit about.

From the city I rescued you
from all the pain and sorrow
By the sea will do
and we will leave back home tomorrow.

But for now we will cherish this
a moment for your soul and mine
To wrap around each other in bliss
by the sea, for a short time.

The stars begin twinkling above us
the ocean waves ride low and high
We watch the moon after dusk
and dance in it's light.

The water at our feet
cold and freezing but we don't care
Because our love is our heat
keeping us warm when we're bare.

At sunrise I return you to your jar
and carry you close to my chest
For next year we will travel this far
To this place in the west.

My one day with you
I cherish it all year long
I wish there was more we could do
to be together like music and lyrics of song.

But this is all we have
so I am thankful for it
Hopeful that our love will last
I don't know about you, but I won't quit.

So next year I can't wait
To be with you again
The time that passes I so very hate
But it will be worth it in the end.
