Seen mountains fade
As if waking from a dream
And if you stayed
Would you still be finding me
Nothing lasts that long, she said
And, anyway, if it ain't in a song
Can it be true
Letters left unread
Tucked in books upon the shelf
The argument, she said
Fell apart despite itself
But no amount of words can save this heart
And, anyway, if it don't break apart
Can it be true
If the compass seeks the north
And we ain't ever plotted that course
Can it be true
Oh, I do recall the light of fall
I do recount your kiss
But most of all the light in your eye
Yes, I do remember this
But the endless blue gave way to clouds
And, anyway, I'm just thinking out loud
Yes, the endless blue opened up to rain
But if you ain't loved then you ain't lived the pain
So can it be true
Can it be true
