Quiet Dawn - Nostalgia 77, Beth Rowley

Your frame is a slender tree

And hands two sprawling leaves

Your mouth, a quiet dawn

Your hair, a waterfall

Your eyes, stars astral light

Slow whispers of infinity

That draw me closer to your body night by night

And my love is a satellite

Spinning, spinning

Spinning, spinning

Your questions are impossible

Galaxies and moonlight flow

Angry tides and fallow lands

And our universe expands

Your footprints are maps to me Under sunlight speckled woods

You’ll feed me in the failing light

A simple meal of gravity

And all my love is a satellite

Spinning, spinning

Spinning, spinning

Spinning, spinning, spinning

You reached into space for me Held my orbit evenly, certain of infinity

But moons and comets die eventually

And when we go, go in peace

When our spirits go free

And the world’s only grey

Quiet dawning galaxy oh And my love is a satellite

Spinning, spinning

Spinning, spinning, spinning

Oh spinning
