Love Within

River of Thyme

The Words · Lyrics

Soft rain on stone streets Daffodils in yellow fields Young hearts wander through assemblies Eyes meet over tea Dreaming the scenes Perfect love Perfect scene Stories we carry in our myths Romantic comedies dreams Are they an escape field Or maps to a place we haven’t been? Tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Love love (Lalalalalalove) Is it the spark between Or the light we discover within? If love lives within Waiting for courage Waiting to be noticed How might we learn To live? Somewhere in the pages Confessions trembling “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” Love… a quiet gesture Jane Austen herself Tenderness… Fireworks Perfect timing Script of a cinematic Kiss Boy with daffodils Recognition Another soul Is walking beside me Through centuries we fed the myth Wondering if love will arrive like this An orchestra on a fireworks screen What if love is already here Breathing softly within A quiet spring… Waiting… For the flower's emerging What if the source is not the meeting Rather the becoming? What if the spark between Is a mirror A Love awakening within? tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Love love Is it the spark between Or the light we discover within? If love lives within Waiting for courage Waiting to be noticed How might we learn To live? Night sets over Bath Moonlight Upon Avon All the heroines sleep beside us Fairytale endings in our dreams Love grows Where truth lives Falling Asleep Asking the question they did: If stories taught us how to dream it Life teaches how to grow it Tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Tell me—What is love? Love love Is it the spark between Or the light we discover within? If love lives within Waiting for courage Waiting to be noticed How might we learn To live? How might we Learn to live? How might we love love within? How might we find courage to be? Fairytale beginnings… Fairytale beginnings… Fairytale beginnings… Love is a question within… A golden string connecting our dreams...
