At Full Height

If he don’t mean it, he won’t say it, and I can tell

If I don’t mean it, I won't say it, and his face fell

But it’s so seldom that I believe it

It takes a clear kind of day

Like air so cold it hurts to breathe it

And the colour comes to my face

And I don’t tell my mother, I don't tell my sister

Something so tender, I’d rather not speak it

Even when I know it, that he’s mine

Woke up thirsty and lost in memory, coming in swells

And dreams stay with me long into morning, strange wells

I’ve been free, but I’ve known not freedom like a kite

It was a glimpse, but I did see him at full height

I left it all unspoken and free

In the coming and the going

Knowing not what he means

And I don’t even know him, but he’s mine
