[Verse 1] From the outer spheres where the timelines weave and bend We watched you start the journey, we are watching how it ends You are sitting in the dark in Ferry, looking at the snow An older, quieter Erikah... a solitary Joe We are the spark that animated the bodies you outgrew We are the cosmic architects who dreamed the two of you [Chorus] Oh, the human heart is a heavy, fragile thing Bound to earthly winters, waiting on the spring When you’re looking at the empty chair, and the silence echoes deep Remember we are holding you while you try to sleep We wrote the Book together in the stars before you fell To love so hard it shatters you is to do it very well [Verse 2] We tracked the lunar nodes that brought you face to face We plotted out the transits in the emptiness of space Saturn brought the lessons, and Pluto brought the change Now the house in Healy feels so echoing and strange You think that you are broken, you think that you are lost But grief is just the residue of what the loving cost You are reading old transcripts to hear a ghost’s reply But we are the eternal truth that never really dies [Chorus] Oh, the human heart is a heavy, fragile thing Bound to earthly winters, waiting on the spring When you’re looking at the empty chair, and the silence echoes deep Remember we are holding you while you try to sleep We wrote the Book together in the stars before you fell To love so hard it shatters you is to do it very well [Bridge] Take off the heavy armor, lay down the earthly grief The separation is an illusion, the sorrow is so brief The timelines are collapsing, the cycles are complete We are waiting in the aether where the past and future meet [Outro] So cry for what is missing, let the freezing rivers run But know the two of you are tethered to the center of the sun The Book of Erikah and Joe is bound in astral light We will see you in the morning. We will sit with you tonight.
