Name: Turn to You
Duration: P00H04M10S
Description: This one was inspired by an episode of This American Life about a father trying to communicate with his daughter. William Faulkner played a role in the story. Eliza Gilkyson and Mary Gauthier really helped me fine tune this one and land it solidly as a love song rather than just cosmic.

lyrics

Turn To You (Fall 2018)

We measure time by the whirling of worlds
How much darkness the light travels through
As we each take our turn on this turning world
It turns out I turn to you

The turning of the moon marks the turning of the tides
As we circle ‘round a star through the cycles of our lives
Just a dance, a circumstance we try to comprehend

We measure time by the whirling of worlds
How much darkness the light travels through
As we each take our turn on this turning world
It turns out I turn to you

If we could just stop time
And stay one moment more
While our lives are intertwined
And I am yours and you are mine

Deep, you pull me in
The gravity of skin
Sets my heart aspin
So we end as we begin
Each of us returns to dust
That’s all we ever were
