Private Universe

by Shawn Colvin

Lyrics
No time, no place to talk about the weather
The labor of love is ours to endure
You said the chance wasn't getting any better
The promise of love is ours to ignore

I is drenched on the apple tree
That was my favorite place to be
I can hear them breaking free
But they could not see me

And I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe

I have all I want, is that simple enough?
A whole lot more I've been thinking of
Every night about six o'clock
The birds come down from the pond to talk

They talk to me, the birds talk to me
If I go down on my knees

And I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe

It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe

And it's a pleasure that I have known
And it's a treasure that I have gained
It's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
Time is on the table and the dinner's cold

And I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe

And I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters
In our private universe
