lyrics

There are things I’d never say
To a perfect stranger
Like the last time --
Oh, never mind
Buried beneath a tree
And mingled with the dust
I keep my love
While grass-stained children play above

And I bet you thought I’d say
And I know you thought I’d say

But hold on to that thought
And these words I sing
They’re all we’ve got
For the time being
And dig with me
As the music continues
Like Orpheus stepping
Across the flowing Styx

Maybe then
Maybe then

Maybe then we will find --
Maybe then we are found
