Name: A Cosmic Conversation
Duration: P00H04M34S
Description: Before I met my wife, I had become disillusioned about finding someone in the small town where I grew up. At the same time, my idealism survived at some level. I wrote this song to say that love is a decision -- If we just do this, commit to it, then at some point all of the mess of the past will fade away. It will cease to be real. All that will be real will be you and I, here together.

Before I met my wife, I had become disillusioned about finding someone in the small town where I grew up. At the same time, my idealism survived at some level. I wrote this song to say that love is a decision -- If we just do this, commit to it, then at some point all of the mess of the past will fade away. It will cease to be real. All that will be real will be you and I, here together.

lyrics

Impose upon a cosmic conversation
All your thoughts, don't force a correlation
Talk until it starts to make sense
I'll be listening still
You won't have to convince me to stay
Until all our former selves decay
And their colors have all washed away
And their words have turned a tired refrain

Bundle up, we'll make it through the winter
I'll cover you up in a blanket and a sweater
We'll offer up all our secret dark spaces
Cover them up and find a hiding place and stay
Until all our former selves decay
And their colors have all washed away
And their words have turned a tired refrain
We'll become what we make

Don't you pull the covers down
Don't you pull the covers down
If you stay then I'll stay

Solider on, you'll make it through the winter
The road you're on leads home to warmer weather
All our lives we've worried about the basics
And sacrificed all we'd rather make
So just stay until all our former selves decay
And their colors have all washed away
And their words have turned a tired refrain
We'll become what we make
