Tall Grass

Let's step through tall grass

Catch our breath where we belong

Hold you tight beneath the over pass

Where the lightning bugs shone so strong

I want to raise you a garden

Where cicadas hum along

So I can bring you flowers

And a song when it all goes wrong

But I don't know where we're bound

I thought we'd have more time

I thought we'd have so long

To carve out more in our lives

Hope is a clever foe

But i'd go wherever you go

I go wherever you go

I go wherever you go

We had a quiet romance

Along a Mississippi road

lost in the hills at sunset

In the red sky light we were each other's first unknown

Forget about our flesh

the dancing flame along our souls

That gathers our chipped end pieces

melting them together whole
