He said:

If I could trace the lines that ran
Between your smile and your sleight of hand,
I would guess that you put something up my sleeve.
Now every time I see your face, the bells ring in a far-off place,
We can find each other this way I believe.

He said:

As my life spills into yours,
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time,
Turning time to flowers,
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before.
