if i can t keep it at least let me call it by name that was called falling this is called pain it s called love what i m losing i know love is a stranger i know that changes come i know love is a changer i m gonna go quietly you don t have to tell me to just let me lie here a little longer next to you i m not trying to bother you i m just trying to breathe you in and then i will leave you there where you are sleeping but speaking of loving you i do i m telling you stranger to stranger whatever changes come to you i m telling you changer to changer morning has stolen your shadow from me but i hold its shape in my mind it s the shape of your back when you turned it on me one last time and out in the waking world nobody understands exactly how light it is exactly how free i am one minute i m laughing and the next one i m lost i m watching the birds fly by i m watching the highways cross speaking of loving you i do i m telling you stranger to stranger whatever changes come to you i m telling you changer to changer  if i can t keep it at least let me call it by name
