Lifelong Fling

As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then

The slippery slide, you know I can't say when

And I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly

With roiling joy, lazy as sin

Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend

And the space he's in, it can make a girl grin

In the beginning of a lifelong fling

I wrote down a dream, folded the note

Slipped it in the pocket of my tattered coat

I wrote down a dream, invisible ink

It never was mine, I'm beginning to think

I wrote down a dream, what more could I do

I drew myself a picture and the picture was you

I wrote myself a riddle, I said what I wouldn't do

To give something good to a love like you

As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then

The slippery slide, you know I can't say when

And I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly

With roiling joy, lazy as sin

Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend

And the space he's in, it can make a girl grin

In the beginning of a lifelong fling

I wrote down a dream, folded the note

Passed it to you, we stepped in our boat

Sailed 'round the world, we were hoping to find

More than the sum of all we left behind

I wrote down a dream but what was it now

And why does it all feel so distant somehow

Did I take too long, did I get it wrong?

You're still the missing line in my favorite song

As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then

The slippery slide, you know I can't say when

And I ever took a ride that could slap me this silly

With roiling joy, lazy as sin

Lyin' up in heaven with my special friend

And the space he's in, it can make a girl sing

Someday, someday, someday
