There is a place beyond the top of the world
It sits patiently, waiting for lovers to unfold
Their hearts are drawn to this place, like rivers to the sea
Like the beams of sunlight seeking around the shadows
Of the vapor lifting into clouds that form letters of love
For the earthly longings to view from below.
There is a place I met you, and joined you.
And stopped for a brief moment in time to consider
the nature of where we were and are.
It is the mystery of you and me. The knowledge that falling
in was easy and out is not an option.
For the place was waiting, and whispering for us to come home.
Here beyond the top of the world.
And up here in the clear air, wisps of other lovers
Drift by our smiling faces, wondering and knowing
What took so long,
We were born together, in love, holding fast through time
and circumstance, knowing that we would someday dance
In this place beyond the top of the world.
And while we rest in arms foretold, we look below
the mountains, the hills, the rivers from whence we came
Forgetting nothing, needing nothing but you in me and i in you.
And only a butterfly was allowed to trace our journey
To this place beyond the top of the world.
