A Long Time Love Song lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't trace this conversation
Words fragment and fall
Into blue shadows by a white-baked wall
Through shimmering spaces a single thrush calls
A song when it's over is no song at all (Is no song at all)

[Chorus]
And you know I long to feel that sail leaping in the wind
And you know I long to see what lies beyond that rim
Oh, ever-new lover and friend
Sing me that love song again

[Verse 2]
Time measured in somersaults
And flickering kids' play
Cross-world and southward, it's a fine summer day
Translucent lifespan evaporates away
To bead on the cool grass in a cyclic ballet

[Chorus]
And you know I long to feel that sail leaping in the wind
Oh, and you know I long to see what lies beyond that rim (Oh)
Oh, ever-new lover and friend
Sing me that love song again (Sing me that love song again)
Oh, ever-new lover and friend
Oh, sing me that love song again
