It was a dark and clouded night

Where neither star nor moon would shine

Yet standing in a pool of light

Like saturn with its rings

A lonesome figure gleamed

So tall and wild and evergreen

With roots that reached out for the sea

Like dancers in the wind

Oh, hi

Love

So far from

From me

Those salt cliffs can't be scaled

The evidence of those who failed

Their skeletons lay strange and frail

Like lace among the rocks

So content to sit and wait

So dedicated to your fate

To never move, to never chase

You just stand up there and watch

Oh, hi

Love

So high up

Will you always be

Out of reach?

Oh, hi

Love

Oh, why

Love?

I wish that you would

Jump

But I can see

Your ties run deep

And it's not for me

To cut you free
