《Counting》歌词

[00:00:00] Counting - Bob Lind

[00:00:04] Now is the glimmering spinning beginning

[00:00:08] Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes

[00:00:12] To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows

[00:00:16] Of night here with you in my arms

[00:00:23] Nothing is breathing as sunset is leaving

[00:00:26] Except you and I in the stillness of moonlight

[00:00:31] We're tenderly touching in silent caresses

[00:00:35] Counting on time to slow down

[00:00:41] This is the moment that pauses to hold us

[00:00:45] As you and I move in a background of wonder

[00:00:49] Surrounded by countless enclosures

[00:00:52] Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy

[00:00:58] Counting times I have stood at the foot

[00:01:01] Of your ivory tower

[00:01:03] And waited and called out your name by the hour

[00:01:07] And counted on wings of my heartstrings to carry

[00:01:11] The sound I have counted on fleeting

[00:01:14] You'd see how I need you come down

[00:01:20] And now between twilight and midnight

[00:01:23] You've come to me

[00:01:24] Down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight

[00:01:28] Bright in the evening the breezes have fenced us

[00:01:32] And nestled against us

[00:01:35] You're here

[00:01:39] And warm

[00:01:43] And mine till the time when the dawn will awake me

[00:01:46] The morning will shake me

[00:01:48] The highway will take me

[00:01:52] But now while the rays

[00:01:54] Of the moon make bouquets

[00:01:56] We will swim in the luster of lingering streetlights

[00:02:00] And count on the night to hold everything even

[00:02:04] And count on forgetting that I will be leaving

[00:02:08] When heaven has folded and let in the dawn

[00:02:11] I'll be gone

[00:02:16] But now as the gardens of softening nighttine

[00:02:19] Are blossoming slowly around where we are

[00:02:23] You and I come together and walk through

[00:02:27] The dreams of the stars

[00:02:31] So here while song of the deepening evening

[00:02:35] Is singing to me from the light in your eyes

[00:02:39] We can count on each other to move to

[00:02:42] The beach of tomorrow

[00:02:46] And know where we've been
