A little light looks through her bedroom window
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems
Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets
Her hair blowing in the breeze
And she can't see me watching
And I'm thinking love

It's bittersweet, more sweet than bitter, Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender
I'm older now
I work in the city
We live together, but it's different from my dream
Morning light fills the room, I rise
She pretends she's sleeping
Are we everything we wanted?
And I'm thinking love

I know we don't talk about it
We don't tell each other
All the little things that we need
We work our way around each other
As we tremble and we bleed
