lyrics

winter in this western valley is a dark and quiet time
then came words, gentle bridges
from an open heart and an agile mind
so much to love, so much in common
so much to lose, so much to gain
gave my heart to a distant stranger
somewhere on the coast of Maine
you bring me joy you bring me music
you give your love despite the pain
shine your light into my darkness
sitting here in the Oregon rain

you're so lean and dark and graceful
like that old tomcat i once had
and i love to watch you moving
through the shadows in my head
come and rub yourself against me
scarred and soft, aloof and strong
lay down purring on my blanket
and I'll sing you all of my songs
i'll bring you joy, I'll bring you music
i'll give you love despite the pain
I'll shine my light into your darkness,
lying here in the Oregon rain
we both knew that this would happen
so hold me close and don't say goodbye
let me feel your heart beating
please don't see my rainy eyes
i won't drown in bitter sorrow
for the things that cannot be
there will be another lifetime
and then we'll both be free
you'll bring me joy, I'll bring you music,
we'll share our love, there'll be no pain
we'll create light, hold back the darkness,
maybe somewhere on the coast of Maine
winter wind she shakes my bedroom
as the night takes over day
sad love songs they're a dime a dozen
but that won't stop what i've got to say
I'll love you deep, I'll love you always,
I'll love you till my dying day
send my love with all this music
from way out west in the Oregon rain
you gave me joy you gave me beauty
you gave me love despite your pain
i miss your light inside my darkness
sitting here in the Oregon rain.
