[ti:Counting] [ar:Bob Lind] [al:Best Of] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Counting - Bob Lind [00:04.80]Now is the glimmering spinning beginning [00:08.18]Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes [00:11.96] [00:12.78]To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows [00:15.95] [00:16.67]Of night here with you in my arms [00:19.14] [00:23.31]Nothing is breathing as sunset is leaving [00:26.28] [00:26.82]Except you and I in the stillness of moonlight [00:30.19] [00:31.25]We're tenderly touching in silent caresses [00:34.26] [00:35.42]Counting on time to slow down [00:37.58] [00:41.59]This is the moment that pauses to hold us [00:44.56] [00:45.24]As you and I move in a background of wonder [00:48.51] [00:49.26]Surrounded by countless enclosures [00:51.27] [00:52.07]Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy [00:55.06] [00:58.82]Counting times I have stood at the foot [01:01.85]Of your ivory tower [01:03.21] [01:03.98]And waited and called out your name by the hour [01:07.12] [01:07.95]And counted on wings of my heartstrings to carry [01:11.82]The sound I have counted on fleeting [01:13.96] [01:14.53]You'd see how I need you come down [01:17.29] [01:20.72]And now between twilight and midnight [01:22.77] [01:23.47]You've come to me [01:24.86]Down in your gown of soft moonbeams and starlight [01:27.74] [01:28.47]Bright in the evening the breezes have fenced us [01:32.44]And nestled against us [01:33.66] [01:35.25]You're here [01:35.70] [01:39.08]And warm [01:39.59] [01:43.00]And mine till the time when the dawn will awake me [01:46.87]The morning will shake me [01:48.74]The highway will take me [01:50.11] [01:52.62]But now while the rays [01:54.43]Of the moon make bouquets [01:55.80] [01:56.41]We will swim in the luster of lingering streetlights [01:59.38] [02:00.43]And count on the night to hold everything even [02:03.51] [02:04.39]And count on forgetting that I will be leaving [02:07.39] [02:08.33]When heaven has folded and let in the dawn [02:11.27] [02:11.88]I'll be gone [02:12.62] [02:16.14]But now as the gardens of softening nighttine [02:19.05] [02:19.79]Are blossoming slowly around where we are [02:23.25] [02:23.82]You and I come together and walk through [02:27.01]The dreams of the stars [02:28.27] [02:31.82]So here while song of the deepening evening [02:35.07] [02:35.63]Is singing to me from the light in your eyes [02:39.38]We can count on each other to move to [02:42.80]The beach of tomorrow [02:43.82] [02:46.53]And know where we've been
