After your laughter like thunder
  After your skin like coffee and cream
  After it takes our bodies into the night
  After we've come to the extreme
    I want to lay down on your shoulder
  Just inside your arm
  I want to listen to your heart beat
  And your breathing on and on
  I want to lay down on your shoulder
  Surrender to your peace
  And go to sleep
    And when we've gone a million miles
  Made true our dreams with sweat and bone
  After we've built it up with our bare hands
  Made strong a place we can call home
    And when the light in my eye is fading
  When running water becomes too deep
  Finally angels turn my fire to dust
  And when my soul's no longer mine to keep
    I want to lay down on your shoulder
  Just inside your arm
  I want to listen to your heartbeat
  And your breathing on and on
  I want to lay down on your shoulder
  Surrender to the peace
  And just go to sleep
