That`s When You Come To Me Lyrics

That`s When You Come To Me lyrics

It's four past the shaking hands
and the house is shouting
and the wide
ocean's smile
is two mountains away 

If the burning laughter refracts
out the window
and too many threads are pulled
and leaves a mark on your
night-face
as red as Shanghai in Autumn Moon 

If the frozen-flat
birds can thaw
to soar north against the wind
and stare across this great
wide
land with faith and feather
You'll know I'll be there - my love


If I'm drowning serenely
and the browning and the torn
picture of
your unshakeable smile
breathes life into my eyes
I'll always be seeing
you - my love 

When the brush is out of paint
and we stroke the gaps
full
of silence and restraint
and the canvas starts to peel
that's
when, that’s when, I'll take your hand
