minutes of relief

come and talk of all the things we did today
hear and laugh about our funny little ways
while we have a few minutes to breathe
and i know that it's time you must leave

darling be home soon
i couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdle
it's not just these few hours
but i've been waiting since i've toddled
for the great relief of having you to talk to

and now a quarter of my life is almost passed
i think i've come to see myself at last
and i see that everlasting moments
have happened in the time i spent with you

so go and beat your head against the sky
try and see beyond the houses
and try to see beyond your eyes
it's okay to shoot the moon
