Too Soon to Go

Sometimes I hear the song that you are singing
Softly out of tune, in broken lines
I see the truth, the rhythm and the meaning
And the best I’ll ever be inside in your eyes
Sometimes you are the dry grass summer orchids
Sometimes a hawk lonely in its flight
I don’t know where you end and I’m beginning
Are you awake tonight and looking at the sky?
It’s too soon to go, it’s too soon to go –
Stay a little longer, there’s so much I need to know
Time is a just our small tracks in the falling snow
It’s just too soon for you to go
Sometimes I hear you speak when you aren’t speaking
Sometimes I feel you hurt, that’s when I cry
Your kindness is the conscience running through me
And your easy laughter spills across these lines
It’s too soon to go, it’s too soon to go –
Stay a little longer, there’s so much I need to know
Time is just our small tracks in the melting snow
It’s just too soon for you to go
Sometimes I am just a child of your mercy
Sometimes a woman softly through the night
Sometimes I just don’t feel I can keep going
Because of you, I raise myself and try
It’s too soon to go, it’s too soon to go –
Stay a little longer, there’s so much you need to know
Time is just our small tracks in the falling snow
And it’s just too soon for you to go
