Lifelong Fling lyrics

Lifelong Fling
words: Detweiler
music: Bergquist/Detweiler
recording: OHIO

The moon blind-sided the sky again
As we grabbed loose ends of the tide and then
The slippery slide
You know I can`t say when
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
In 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

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 feel so distant somehow

Did I take too long
Did I get it wrong
You`re still the missing line in my favorite song
