Be Near

Can we be near

Hands across the table

Everything in pairs

On the run

On the run

We aim for the summits and pinnacles

But when your wobbly legs tire

Your mind still roams

Here comes the wheelbarrow

I'm taking you home

Please believe in my sense of direction

We're not lost

We're not home

But we can have it all

Our pet sounds and rubber souls

Let your fear go

Let your fear go

How can you tell I've been working at all

Can't fill a page with what I have so far

Splinters and glue

When you grab my hand

As we walk through some half-asleep neighborhood

And on your tongue

On your tongue

Words lose their bearing

When love empties the lungs

I'm steady enough to move

I'd like to follow you

Until we represent at the gates of heaven

Oh we go through it all

The harvest and the gold rush

Let your fear go

Let all your fear go

How can you tell

How can you tell

How can you tell

I can tell I can I can tell

Be Near - Aloha
