I've memorized you
Like I've memorized the back of my hand
I know you
Like I know the back of my hand
But darling,
Do you know me?
Do you see me?
No. The answer is no
I'm just there
Like the back of your hand
Asleep in my bed
Beauty like I've never seen
Rest easy my love
I used to be a thief
Stealing through the woods
The stars were all that saw me
Your chair ever rocking
From where I used to sit
Where I will never sit again
Memories of the old hammock
A place I will also never see again
Now the moon shines streaks of silver
Reminding me of you
Your head, your eyes, your lips, your nose
I see them all reflected
As clearly as could be
In this wild forest
There is only me and you
The sky, deep red
Fog makes it hard to see
It’s not your heart I stole, I realize
As I see it’s you I hold
