Downtown in the fall   Across the sidewalks   Leaves will all make fossils left behind   Balancing your life   This way against mine   I know you're in me somewhere   I have the marks to prove of this      Closer to the sun   Out in the open farm   To the reason of this growing I will come   And you will be near   And I am not old   When we are close together, we are young      If I had no arms to fold into   If I had joys to breathe back to you   Surely this would slow the life of mine   Surely this could stop the love of mine      Far from everyone   Down where the river runs   To the reason for this valley I will come   And wash myself there   Of all of my cares   Through mystery and water there is love   There is love      If I had no arms to fold into   If I had joys to breathe back to you   Surely this would slow the life of mine   Surely this could stop the love of mine      If I had no arms to fold into   If I had joy to breathe back to you   Surely this would slow the life of mine   Surely this could stop the love of mine
