about

This song was part of a project for ProSeed Books, a digital pop up photography and musical publication. There was a photoseries given to each songwriter to use as the inspiration of a song. EZ's was a black and white series of a French riverside town in early dawn and nightfall shrouded in mist. This was the song it inspired.

lyrics

You know what you are
You're my northern star
The sun is coming up and we've been walking all night long.
Got me to come and meet you
when you called tonight
in this lonesome river town.

I see my face in the window there
I can't believe that you got me here
It's sad all the feelings I have right now
how time slipped away.

And I know I've got the right to say, let it be
This is the only moment in the world
and it's just you and me.

The journey's always a mystery
One that restless and worn
And we tend to find each
even if it's just before dawn

You stop for one stolen moment
A woman singing alone
It's a song we recognize
And we have all kinds of stories
and some you want to relive
but that's a foolish man's game.

And you know I'm just a victim here
so are you
We've talked and talked and wore it out
What's to do?
The sky has turned the lightest blue
but the night is still around us like a coat you see
This is the only moment in the world
and it's just you and me
oh, you and me

Because it's such a rush to be with you
Noone else will do
this to me again
But the fog is playing with my head
on the water, over head
and over all of those people in their bed
I remember lying in our bed
and I know I know I know
it will never be the same again.

This is the only moment in the world
and it's just you and me
just you and me...
