I'm Counting Stars

I'm counting stars; I'm skimming stones across the moonlit waves of an ocean  
And I'm drowning my dreams in the mystical ways of a potion    
But I'm sinking in deeper and I'm grasping the dark    
That's no longer dormant in the empty space of my aching heart    
     
Are these my tears, or just the ocean spray?    
That washes you, a thousand, a million miles away    
Am I lost in time? 'cause I'm in need of your soothing solace    
In this nowhere, never, place that crept upon us    
     
I'm naming the constellations, as the waves crash to shore    
I'm caught and borne on a riptide beyond a tidal bore    
And I swim with the dolphin and I swim with the shark    
As your love fills my longing lungs and turns back the dark    
     
Are these your tears, or just the ocean spray?    
Am I holding you, or are you still a thousand, a million miles away?    
Have we found each other in time, or is reverie our only solace?    
In this nowhere, never, place that crept upon us    
     
I'm counting stars; we're skimming stones as the day breaks on the ocean    
Maybe I'm just living a dream, borne on concentric waves of parhelic motion
 But I know that I'm bathed in a love, as sweet as the fragrance of any wild flower    
As we walk hand-in-hand, now and forever, to an impossible sunlit ivory tower
