lyrics

An expanse of stars
Lives above my head
Lives above my head
And I’m below
And this willow’s stream
Will flow into the sea
Eventually
While I’m behind

If I loved you more
Would you love me more?

Here the sparrow builds
A home to lay her young
A home to lay her young
It’s what she knows
In her nest she wastes
Her song an aural maze
Of multiplying days
As the sand

If I loved you more
Would you love me more?
I could love you more
Will you love me more?
