[Intro] [solo piano, light and fluttering, cello enters softly] [Verse 1: Soprano] You speak, and something folded in me starts to stir A quiet sleeping season cracking into light I had been wrapped in silence, spun from all I never said Till your listening became the morning in my night [Verse 2: Baritone] I watched you at the window with the sun across your hands Gold dust on your fingers like a prayer And I thought, whatever opens in a person when they're loved Is the softest, wildest weather in the air [Pre-Chorus: Both] Slowly, slowly, silk gives way Every fear a falling leaf Something tender learns the day [Chorus: Duet, harmonized, strings rising] Fly with me across the meadow Where the morning holds its breath Wingbeat set to heartbeat Gentle as a promise, wide as the sky Fly with me, fly with me Love is how we learn to rise [Interlude] [solo cello, long and singing, piano underneath] [Bridge] [whispered, pizzicato strings and soft piano] [Soprano] And if the evening gathers [Baritone] If the cold wind finds our wings [Both] We'll fold into each other Like petals, like a song a garden sings [Final Chorus: Duet] [full strings swelling, piano chords, cello soaring] Fly with me across the meadow Where the morning holds its breath Wingbeat set to heartbeat Gentle as a promise, wide as the sky Fly with me, fly with me Love is how we learn to rise [Outro] [solo piano and cello, fading] Soft as wings... soft as light... Fly with me into the night
