Twenty
Spinning somewhere in the world are hearts falling in love
Awake after twenty hours of talking, after twenty years of waiting
Two souls are finding their mates
Over eggs in a café hidden beneath the stars
And, she accidentally confesses her heart coming alive
Blushing, she fumbles for an excuse
He says that’s old news
And, that his awoke twenty hours prior to her slip of tongue
Sleep ain’t coming soon
After twenty years, that need's been cut loose
And, I ain’t about to lose you
After twenty hours of loving you
He could see in her eyes, his heart and children
Acting the part of airplane, flying in to piles of leaves and laughing
On a lazy autumn evening, and in the prayer of his dreams
Finally holding the lover God had promised him she would be
And, taken back in to the present situation
Blushing, he stumbles for an excuse
She says that’s old news
And, that she’s been dreaming the same dream for twenty years
After twenty years, they say it went so fast
And, for twenty years, they’ve held each other tight
With the strength of love’s great and beautiful grasp
