Last night I asked to see you,
needing to apologize
And the woundings there were deep,
I could see it in your eyes
And we spoke of softer days,
since the hard ones we had known
And a healing peace was slow
but sure in coming,
where the spirit meets the bone
And I reached for my compassion,
and I held you through the tears
And a river did flow freely
That had blocked us all those years
And we looked with eyes forgiven
At the wild seeds we had sown
Some had grown to love
While we had just grown weary
Where the spirit meets the bone
All the nights being lost
In the smell of your hair
All the lines we had crossed
Heart to heart everywhere
From a bed in Amsterdam
To a voting with me
Deep in silence soaring song
Oh, the whisper in your ear
And it comes as no surprise
We could love again, again
Both co -stars in this movie
But we cannot change the end
No, the director's up in heaven
And he never checks his phone
We're frozen in this scene
Called someone's leavin'
Where the spirit meets the
bone
Oh, time's being lost
in the touch of your skin
All the lines we have crossed,
I would cross them all again
From a coal make in New Hampshire,
to a field in Tennessee
You always made it known,
you had saved the best for me
And in this clear ironic moment,
it is not lost on me
We're both locked in separate airplanes,
six miles above the sea
You on your way to California,
and me to parts unknown
Both looking for a love that's
ours for keeping
Where the spirit meets the
bone
You
