Verse riff 

Late in the evening I think upon, 
You and I on the tree and the stone. 
My love for you is natural, 
self evident like the tree and the stone, 
Self assured, freedom of form. 

G 
Why would we ever second guess, 
     D 
when we both say the first mind is best, 
C 
Steadily we become, 
  G 
So let it run, let it run. 

Interlude 

G 
And how many times must we be stunned, 
D 
Every star is a rising sun. 
C 
I'll be leading on, 
G 
you be leading on. 

Verse riff 

Stuck with the forces, 
and spin with the moon. 
Pull in the tides, 
and you back to me soon. 

Back to me soon. 
Darling I pull back to me soon.
