Lyrics:

You say I've left you
That I've abandoned you
How can I show you that's not true

I could have rearranged the constellations
So with stars in their locations
Night would bring your image into view
I could have carved up a long chain of mountains
Until all of the surroundings
Looked up at my monument to you
I could have changed the course of winding rivers
So in flowing cursive letters they
Spelled out your name in liquid blue
But stars explode
Rocks erode
Streams dry and are gone
So I've written you, I've carved you on my palms

I could have painted you with oil on canvas
On your wall, a silent witness
Ever looking on you while you sleep
I could have set your form into a poem
Sculpted on the pages showing
Bits of you in every word I'd keep
I could have sung and set your name to music
Words and melody infused with the
Currents and the movements of the deep
But paintings fade
A page decays
The heart forgets a song
So I've written you, I've carved you on my palms

You say I've left you
That I've abandoned you
How can I show you that you're wrong
So come and stand
And take my hand
And do not doubt for long
That I've written you, I've carved you on my palms
I've written you, I've carved you on my palms
