SECRETS IN YOUR HAND

David Lewis


In this world of fragments
There are pieces here and there
Drawn together by these tangled threads
Across the line the mystery deepens
Further every day
As we trace the patterns
Just the way we said
And I know that I want to hear
What you have to say tonight
Living only in the here and now
Close at hand
I'm open wide, I'm satisfied
I'm reaching for the secrets
You hold open in your hand

Tonight the moon it seems to hold
A lifetime in its light
All these imperfections cast aside
I can watch the way your fingers move
As they soften up the night
The answers never seem so hard to find
And I know that I want to see
What you say you'll see tonight
Lying in the silence and the heat
The symmetry
You pacify, demystify
I'm aching for the secrets
You hold open in your hand

While you sleep the shadows move
Across the white-washed wall
And the room is bathed in never ending light
Knowing that these stretching arms
Are bound to break our fall
No matter what the distance what the height
And I know that I want to see
What you have to dream tonight
Way beyond the windows of your soul
Tranquillity
I'm looking in, beyond the skin
I'm let into the secrets
You hold open in your hand
