The Stars Drop From the Sky

I think of you and the stars drop from the sky:
The world stops spinning--
Nothing is left but you and I.

There was a garden, in the beginning
When the world was round and the sun was gold.
When love was first made it was meant to grow old
But a chunk of poison lodged in my throat.

I fell asleep and I fell to the ground
I was trapped in a dream but then I was found
And vigorously kissed--I remember this--
I woke in your arms adrift in a boat.

In another life, in a world less cold,
I could have been a butterfly
And flown to dreams that I've never seen
We could have been monarchs, king and queen.

Yes, here is love, but I do not know
If it will melt with the springtime snow
If it will fall with the stars from the sky
But at least for now it's just you and I.
