Oh how funny is the familiar
As we frantically try to find
The feeling of something firm
In the fleeting face of time
But should we ever fear
The feather that floats away
For its fragile flight has found
The meaning in all that fades
Freedom is but falling
Together we sat
In the shade
Of a sugar pine
Now nested alone
In the space
Where the concrete lies
Intertwined in glass
That glittered
As it escaped our eyes
And we shared our past
A double knot
Parts that shaped our lives
At my [A]side
A pine cone
Perched beneath my [A]chair
Now ɾesting
In my [A]palm
As I peel back a scale
I unfold
Each ɾipple
In search for [Dm7]a core
But in the space
Between
Lies what's left to [C7]the unknown
We continued to [C7]talk
Till the sun
Gently grazed the pine
And together we sat
Nested alone
In each other's lives
For a brief moment
Only us
Laid apart from time
Enwrapped in the present
Like the swell
Of a moving tide
All the layers
You peeled back
Formed a new one made for [Dm7]me
Our lives
But moments
A mosaic of memories
And when
We look back
How beautiful it will be
To love
Is to [C7]share
For you [A7a part of me
