In The Spaces

I am on my back in this strange hour
On the roof with time to spend
Looking for the moon in darkness
Finding silence without end

Astonished by the night
I have found a place to rest
I am hoping for a place of rest

But across the way there is a light
In the neighbor's window I can see
And overhead the clouds are rushing past
Like waves along the beach

And you are climbing up to join me
We are climbing up so high
We have climbed and climbed so high

Was that a satellite that went so fast
Swinging north past the Pleides?
I wonder can it see us?
And see this oak that sways under the breeze

I hope it can
Because I can feel you warm against my side
I certainly can feel you warm against my side

But from here we see only the fragments
Arms and legs and bits of wing
Between this cloud and that
The heroes dance and sing

And we find light in the spaces
We are waiting here for now
We are watching out for angels

Let's climb down to where it's warm
Pour the wine and eat the bread
Sit for a moment in the light
Then lock the door it's time for bed
