More Than This

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As crickets call out to the moonlight
As you lean in to steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories
But the ache goes away if you could see
This night under stars, well, I call it peace
If you say, I'll never need more than this

The trees grow so thick
You can barely see through
But the forest bestows the simplest of truths
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish
But the truth is you'll never need more
You'll never need more
You'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along

And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you
Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As we watch the glow of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing
As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Let's make this our story
Let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

~ Vanessa Carlton
