As Holy As the Soil (That Buries Your Skin)

As holy as the soil that buries your skin
As holy as the love we’ll never give
As holy as the time that drifted away
I love you so will you please come home
As holy as the Roman Empire
As holy as the coffee you made for us As holy as those nights we wa ked in the rain
I love you so will you please come home
So come on — would it be that hard
Just for once
We could save the world
Just me and you doing something true
Even if it only lasts for seconds
As lonely as the darkness between the stars
As fragile as the people we are
As sacred as the words we shared and displayed
I love you so will you please come home
As beautiful as the spring in Japan
As generous as your safe strong hands
As wasted as the lifetimes we spent far apart
I love you so will you please home
So come on — would it be that hard
Just for once
We could save the world
Just me and you doing something true
Even if it only lasts for seconds
I love you so won’t you please come home
It’s been so long but I can’t let go
