On the album The Honesty Room, released 1993. This album is notable for how few of the songs on it have choruses.
This song is unusually considered a musing on doomed love. As beautiful as it is, the narrator has no choice but to leave the one she loves.
[Verse 1]
I heard love can fall so hard, it can bury a kingdom
I heard it makes the spring appear out of season
It's a storm in a shadowbox, a force to be reckoned with
When it finds you, and find you it will
[Verse 2]
And I'd not believe it 'til I loved, I love
The rivers sing and stars awaken above me
And the wind and the moon in fits of restless conspiring
Turn night to heaven for you
[Verse 3]
But I am going to a far, far land
I know it sure as I've a past and a future
With my maps on the table, you see, I have lost many things
So many I won't turn back
[Bridge]
And were I a deadwood ship, my heart a compass
I would leave with inanimate grace, no love could touch me
But I live and I know that I'll burn as I grow
Though it might break my heart to walk away
[Verse 4]
And so as a moon may adore you and remain, high moon
The wind may crown your head with leaves, and keep blowing
So I'll stop and I'll watch you, for I love, I love
And then be on my way
And then be on my way
