You let your dress fall that morning in your roomnYour body more beautiful than foxglove in bloomnAnd your motions, the way that tall grasses swaynYou were a prism refracting light beams every which waynnWhen I have your hand, will you understand?nDoes anyone ever stay the same?nCome eveningtide, keep my sidenBecause people rarely stay the samennAt times I can't identify what I'm dreaming aboutnBut I know the somewhat salty taste of your tears on my mouthnAnd I've not forgotten cottonwood or that old lonesome churchnThese I would not trade for every ocean on earthnnWhen I have your hand, will you understand?nDoes anyone ever stay the same?nCome eveningtide, keep my sidenBecause people rarely stay the samennIt's time to wake now, instead we offer no mindnAt ten past you gently wrap your legs around minenThe sparrows hope to greet you, will you give them your song?nBut right now you're resting soundly inside my armsnnWhen I have your hand, will you understand?nDoes anyone ever stay the same?nCome eveningtide, keep my sidenBecause people rarely stay the same
