Highest Hopes

The beating wind through the cracks in your car
And your heart-shaped face in the dark
And we are smiling softly as we talk
And we are calm as clocks

I can feel your love like a rope
Thrown beyond us as we float
You awaken my highest hopes

You hold my hand and turn the other cheek
You laugh aloud when you can hardly speak
You are a wave that crashes on concrete
And we are thick as thieves

I can feel your love like a rope
thrown beyond us as we float
you awaken my highest hopes

The beating of a moth against my eyes
And I can almost hear it as it cries
A little sound of startle and surprise
And we are still as skies


I can feel your love like a rope
thrown beyond us as we float
you awaken my highest hopes
