I hadn't seen you since December, it was a long, long drive Out in the middle of the desert I wondered if I might cry
When we arrived it was as if there had been no time Since the day that you moved out from down the hall It was good to see your books and smell your perfume It was good to see your pictures on the walls
You said you had to take me somewhere And we went out into the night The shrine devoted to a sinner, illuminated by candlelight
We wrote all of our dreams in scraps of paper And put them on a wall of ancient clay The wishing shrine has all that we are made of You held my hand until the night had turned to day
There you go, my love Don't you know my love? Here it is, just to be sure
Wilt my shoulder now Time's too slow, so I don't know how But my wish is coming true My wish is coming true My wish is coming true My wish is coming true
