Rose and Gold

My mirrors with a memory
blurring around her
like the gloaming
all rose and gold
She's naming the mountains
She's naming the seas
of my place of longing
a place without beginning
reaching for what cannot be reached
I found her hand
Coloring
my mirrors with a memory
rose and gold
More myth than history
More yesterdays than tomorrows
More rose and gold
My mirrors with a memory
without horizon
surround her like mercy
all rose and gold
She's the invitation
a minaret singing
from my place of longing
a place without beginning
Listening for what cannot be heard
I learned her name
The signature
on my mirrors with a memory
Rose and gold.
More myth than history
More yesterdays than tomorrows
More rose and gold.
It won't be long
until all has gone
rose and gold.

More years with you than not
there's nothing more I want
nostalgia a shrinking violet
although your past makes me want you more
The eyes of every lover through me
from Orpheus to lovers unborn
watching you turn to fire
without smoke
in the alpenglow
like a magic lantern show
The first morning every morning
the last evening every evening
no more multitudes for me
I've never been in one place at once
It's always later than I think
I gotta find a new way to tell time
and live
as if I won't get
more years with you than not
More years with you than not
a peace I've never known
although I know we must go
where the other cannot follow
so i will learn how to be
close to you when I'm alone
even the mountains are smaller
when we're apart they seem speak
"There was never time enough to grow old!"
The first morning every morning
the last evening every evening
no more multitudes for me
I've never been in one place at once
It's always later than I think
I gotta find a new way to tell time
and I'm gonna live
as if I won't get
more years with you than not
More years with you than not
More years with you than not
More years with you than not
