《Counting (Version 2)》歌词

[00:00:13] Now is the glimmering spinning beginning

[00:00:16] Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes

[00:00:21] To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows

[00:00:25] Of night

[00:00:26] Here with you in my arms

[00:00:32] This is the moment that pauses to hold us

[00:00:36] As you and I move in a background of wonder

[00:00:40] Surrounded by countless enclosures

[00:00:43] Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy

[00:00:50] Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower

[00:00:56] And waited

[00:00:56] And called out my name by the hour

[00:00:59] And counted on the wings of my heartstrings

[00:01:03] To carry the sound

[00:01:04] I have counted on pleading

[00:01:07] You see how I need you

[00:01:09] Come down

[00:01:13] And now between twilight and midnight I come to you

[00:01:17] Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight

[00:01:21] Bright is the evening

[00:01:23] The breezes have fenced us

[00:01:25] And nestled against us

[00:01:29] You're here

[00:01:32] And warm

[00:01:36] And mine till the time

[00:01:38] When the dawn will awake you

[00:01:40] The morning will shake you

[00:01:42] The highway will take you

[00:01:46] But now all the rays of the moon making bouquets

[00:01:51] Will swim through the luster of lingering street lights

[00:01:54] We count on the night to hold everything even

[00:01:58] And count on forgetting that you will be leaving

[00:02:02] And destinies folded and then in the dawn you'll be gone

[00:02:10] But now as the gardens of softening night time

[00:02:14] Are blossoming slowly around where we are

[00:02:18] You and I come together

[00:02:20] And walk through the dreams of the stars

[00:02:26] So here while the song of the deepening evening

[00:02:30] Is singing to me from the light in your eyes

[00:02:34] We can count on each other to move to the beach of tomorrow

[00:02:40] And know where we've been
