YOU AND I

as quiet as the turning of an ancient bible's page
as lonely as a lovebird with no mate to share its cage
as dark as painted windows where the light cannot shine through
that's all my life would ever be, if i were not with you

as solemn as a rain cloud drifting heavily with tears
as useless as a timepiece that'd been stripped of all its gears
as helpless as a sailboat in an unrelenting sea
that's what i would be going through, if you were not with me

as joyous as an anthem that is sung with bursting pride
as powerful as oceans that will pull you in its tide
as bright as summer sunshine in a blue and cloudless sky
that is what my life has been, since it's been you and i
