lyrics

I'd run the numbers and the numbers don't lie
All the evidence is anecdotal
They gave me no cause to be hopeful
I'd asked the tea leaves and the stars in the sky

I sought guidance in the works of troubadours
For how two souls can be attuned
But I needed more than metaphors
And I can't wait for a blue moon
Just as I'd declared the task absurd
I had to swallow every word
Because you made a joke of my despondency

You see... you see... the miracle in me
And I have found a miracle in you
Open up yourself to the possibilities
No chance at all is not the same as few

The river had dried up in the canyon
This time of year there's usually waterfalls
Everyone felt they'd been abandoned
And they sit around staring at canyon walls

Well I was weak but I couldn't waste away
I turned attention to the heights
I couldn't sit around and pray
I thought at least I'd see the sights
Just as I was gasping in thin air
When through the trees I saw you there
Wading in the bluest lake there'll ever be

Oh My... fire was all but quenched
And I.. had no fuel to burn
The night... seemed like an endless stretch
But I... know... you will keep me til the morn
