Lyrics:

  • All these dreams
    In a box of leaves

    From an orchard
    Of a distant valley floor

    Not too much to restore
    Just a faint wind now
    Would deliver the rain

    Maybe you never saw
    Maybe you never knew
    Fly into me

    Round and round
    and round it goes

    Where it stops
    every body knows

    I’ve been drifting along
    These ol’ dunes alone
    The promise of a flood

    Maybe you never saw
    Maybe you never knew
    Fly into me

    Won’t you come now
    And sit along side

    Tell me where you
    Been spinning time

    No need to leave out a word
    ‘Cause I ain’t too tired
    And I don’t need to win

    Maybe you never saw
    Maybe you never knew
    Fly into me

  • I'm writing to you knowing you won't hear me
    My whole life feels like letting people go
    Look through my window when we're near
    Big beautiful night is blowing through my dreams

    The more I know the less I feel

    Together
    let us hold
    the dark up
    (to the light)

    Together
    let us hold
    the dark up
    (to the light)

    Together let us hold the dark up to the light
    Together let us hold the dark up to the light

    Together let us hold the dark up to the light
    Together let us hold the dark up to the light

    The troops are storming the sunrise again
    The sunlight bleeds in rose shaded pearls
    We have flown through stormy weather
    There are few windows out of this world

    The more I know the less I feel

    Together
    let us hold
    the dark up
    (to the light)

    Together
    let us hold
    the dark up
    (to the light)

    Together let us hold the dark up to the light
    Together let us hold the dark up to the light

  • Nothing left to be said from all that talking
    No more to do than to just keep walking
    I want to spend the rest of life
    In the middle of that conversation

    I’m on the outside looking in
    At the day that’s already been
    Because when I am all alone
    (Oh Girl) I Wish I Knew You When

    Take out your blue, blue dress
    Put on your dancing shoes
    We’re going out to fill the night
    With a moon and a swing

    I’m on the outside looking in
    At the day that’s already been
    Because when I am all alone
    (Oh Girl) I Wish I Knew You When

    I never caught your name
    Even sturdy hearts / Can soon fall apart
    A promise that lies awake
    The sky is in front of us

    Where the lips of the moon
    Quench the night’s desires
    All the words I heard from you
    I just couldn’t shake

    I’m on the outside looking in
    At the day that’s already been
    Because when I am all alone
    (Oh Girl) I Wish I Knew You When

    Not that it really mattered
    We played in the sands / of time
    Pictures of you remind me
    The distance may cover us

    (Chorus)

  • People talking about you lately
    Say they know just how you feel
    Telling me they know your love
    And who we get to call our own

    Do they know the difference
    Of real souls and those on their feet
    Who am I to the heart of another
    It’s not me (it’s not me)

    You are love
    You have shown me how
    Who am I to judge another
    Let love rain

    I have enough in front of me
    Without tripping over my ways
    It’s not too late, but it’s late enough
    We got to love each other alright

    Do they know the difference
    Of real souls and those on their feet
    Who am I to the heart of another
    It’s not me (it’s not me)

    You are love
    You have shown me how
    Who am I to judge another
    Let love rain

    (bridge) Don’t know about trying to get to heaven in a hurry
    I just gotta love you with all my heart and soul
    And treat those as I want to be treated

    We got more in common, love
    Than we got in our different ways
    We don’t all have to be the same
    But we do all bleed in red

    Do they know the difference
    Of real souls and those on their feet
    Who am I to the heart of another
    It’s not me (it’s not me)

    You are love
    You have shown me how
    Who am I to judge another
    Let love rain (x3)

  • Your eyes open with light
    Your ear down to the ground
    The runaway train that is your love
    Is bound to grow

    Let’s go down to the water’s edge
    Let’s go down by the sea
    Can you hear the call
    Can you hear the call
    I listen for you

    That’s the sound it’s so sure
    That’s the sound of sweet rapture
    Your life is made of stars
    Crawling across years to you

    Let’s go down to the water’s edge
    Let’s go down by the sea
    Can you hear the call
    Can you hear the call
    I listen for you

    Look now at what is started
    Faithful to the open hearted
    You shine your light darkness does not overcome
    Darkness does not overcome

    Let’s go down to the water’s edge
    Let’s go down by the sea
    Can you hear the call
    Can you hear the call
    I listen for you

  • I reach over to touch you and you aren’t there
    I know your voice, you bring of pieces me

    Here is my hand
    Here is my heart
    Here is my mind
    Here is my love

    Hoping to be spilled in with the flowing river
    Please consider me, I’m heading to higher ground

    Here is my hand
    Here is my heart
    Here is my mind
    Here is my love

    Like seeing shadows on a cloudy day

    Maybe you never needed anything from me
    I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and move me

    Here is my hand
    Here is my heart
    Here is my mind
    Here is my love

    Like seeing shadows on a cloudy day

    Painted pictures of you hung all down the hall
    We take our stand wherever you go

    Here is my hand
    Here is my heart
    Here is my mind
    Here is my love (x2)

  • she can't beg for tomorrow
    because today is here to stay
    no matter how much she shows
    it will only mean that much to today

    carry that load to the river
    go on down to see it flow
    all you know is you're with her
    and soon we'll have to go

    when someone comes knocking at your door
    and you know you've got room for one
    then you feel that rhythm soar
    you stand strong cause it's what you've done (for one)

    she won't run now that you called
    but she may walk down the line
    only hope is if you fall
    she'll be there in your time

    when someone comes knocking at your door
    and you know you've got room for one
    then you feel that rhythm soar
    you stand strong cause it's what you've done (for one)

  • I lay awake and think of you
    How you’re ‘round but I can’t find you

    I cannot face that lonely day
    With no fever of your touch and sway

    But I ain’t worried
    Of another story
    I know you’ll come around again
    She’s gonna want to
    And I’m waiting
    We’re gonna want to
    Live to steal another day

    The road from the sea leads to the sky
    The beat’s driven by the tumbling moon

    When all the worlds around us rage
    Can’t keep the dawn from drawing near

    But I ain’t worried
    Of another story
    I know you’ll come around again
    She’s gonna want to
    And I’m waiting
    We’re gonna want to
    Live to steal another day

    My tired mind going’ round and round
    You’re here and then you’re gone again

    When you walk out across my life
    Like a star shoots across the sky

    But I ain’t worried
    Of another story
    I know you’ll come around again
    She’s gonna want to
    And I’m waiting
    We’re gonna want to
    Live to steal another day

  • I have dreams of conversations we shared
    I’d recognize that face anytime
    at anywhere

    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it
    Oh, no
    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it

    I really want you to be my friend
    I hope that you are not too lonely here

    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it
    Oh, no
    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it

    There are so many lives I’ve wanted to lead
    But I would trade them all for ours again

    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it
    Oh, no
    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it
    Oh, no
    Don’t want love
    If I gotta fake it
    Oh, no
