Hymn to the Universe

(Dan Cardwell)

A bittersweet love song that I always imagined to have an ethereal quality

Is there the time to walk these city streets 
Is there the time for me and you
Watch all these city lights as they mix together
Turn the sky all the colours of a bruise
Man and a woman walk a mysterious distance
Between the truth and what it seems
He’ll miss the days you used to look at him that way
Oh, how I miss the way you used to look at me

Chorus:
So I start to wonder can love turn as hard as hate
So I start to wonder does this heart beat hard to hurt
Then I look across at you and this city lights you up
Like God’s Hymn to the Universe

Is there the time to talk to you tonight
Is there the time to tell me what to say
The more you try to pull things closer
The further you will push them all away
Sometimes these days play heavy on my shoulders
Sometimes that couldn’t be further from the truth
Do you remember this time, last time we were here
The city looked so bright so god damn beautiful

Chorus

“Lay down under here,
Before you fall to pieces”
But you’re so strange and so beautiful
An original of the species
And I know there’s no reason why
But I have got to believe

So I start to wonder…. Does love turn as hard as hate
I start to wonder ….. does this heart beat hard to hurt
Then I look at you… and the city lights you up
Like God’s Hymn…..….. to the universe.
