By the Beams

By the beams of the sun
Don't waste it on just anyone
Giving you the same old answers
That were never worth a dame

Where my heart goes
There my hand follows
And under every sky
I see you and I

You see yourself
In scraps and odds and ends
An I can't even begin
To tell you how I see you

By the beams of the sun
And this long and steady road
Do you ever wonder
If you're not already whole?

However foolish we may be
We stand to make amends
And carry these embers
To a new place again
