To
 Here

L Y R I C

When we were fifteen
We'd meet in the park
Infatuation too rampant to miss
Then wandering home
Stay out after dark
And fall into whispers
And kiss
The city would pulse all around us
We were the only ones there
We turned sixteen
Borrowed the car
And drove straight out to here
Earth's perfume, like wine
Conjured castles in the air
The traces we'd find
And you could be mine
All the way out here
Spanning the breach
Instructing my heart
Practicing love as a wilderness art
[clarinet solo]
We were married
Almost children
Wow, what a stir
What a joke
We were broke
Oh, to be young and pure!
So here's to you, my dear
To castles in the air
For spanning the breach,
Instructing my heart,
Practicing love as a wilderness art
Here's to you, my dear
To castles in the air
And here's to here
Here's to holding near
Here's to you, my dear
