• Come away with in the night
  Come away with me
  And I will sing you a song
  Come away with me on a bus
  Come away where they can't tempt us
  With there lies
  I want to walk with you
  On a cloudy day
  In fields where the yellow grass grows
  Knee-high
  So won't you try to come
  Come away with me and we'll kiss
  On a mountain top
  Come away with me
  And I'll never stop loving you
  And I want to wake up with the rain
  Falling on a tin roof
  While I'm safe there in your arms
  So all I ask is for you
  To come away with me in the night
  Come away with me.

• Is it love that connects us, is that what it is? I never knew that the feeling I have is regular old love because it's so-intricate. Perhaps there is another name for it, one we don't yet know. I used to think that love was simple and noticeable, like rain falling, so that just as you'd look at your skin and say Water, you would also wake in the morning and say Love. But it has been underneath, this new and old thing I feel, subterranean, silent and steady, like blood, rushing along and along without often making itself known.

• I stare at her chest. As she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. I'm the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she's the sea. The sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. Between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.
