There once was nothing But nothing needed something To hold when the still Born of the dead took its will I don't know anything I'm too busy listening To the ghosts in the wind Who've all come rushing in Let me lay my head on your shoulder Let me dream that god could live in me Let me go to sleep and ask nothing This world hurts And life is long So long in my longing We need to believe In love that's so far-reaching We lean close to touch Ourselves in our own otherness I held you once at least We swam in the ocean Climbed to peaks Before this all went away Sung with no words or no names Let me knock on the door of heaven Let me weep 'til the tears all fall from me All these countless places we waltz in Will we ever know eternity?
