From The River

from The Ropes by Hugh Christopher Brown

lyrics

You do not ask the river where it’s going, you drink from it the same
And this is how we love
Not by maps
Not by aims
Just go out and come back as something different
And by your own change recognize the music in everything that’s constant
I’ve seen it in your eyes
Yes I’ve seen love in your eyes
And it feels like a pattern, some word from above
‘bout all these space in my life
You’re unafraid to express
And unwilling to live for less than the joy in your heart
Our conversation is so clear
Without expectation, and without fear
I guess I loved you from the start
And I don’t know your patterns
I just feel what your capable of
As these spaces in my life fill with love

Such strange courage that has been mine since we met,
I don’t trip over the past anymore
It’s hope that you encourage
It’s doubts that I forget
What could I have ever used hem for?

‘Cause I’m just trying to earn my heart
To live up to what I feel
And the more I learn about your joys and concerns
The more I know it’s real
And I don’t care about the patterns
I care what I’m capable of
Now that your face is in my life
