Lyrics:
-
All these dreams
In a box of leavesFrom an orchard
Of a distant valley floorNot too much to restore
Just a faint wind now
Would deliver the rainMaybe you never saw
Maybe you never knew
Fly into meRound and round
and round it goesWhere it stops
every body knowsI’ve been drifting along
These ol’ dunes alone
The promise of a floodMaybe you never saw
Maybe you never knew
Fly into meWon’t you come now
And sit along sideTell me where you
Been spinning timeNo need to leave out a word
‘Cause I ain’t too tired
And I don’t need to winMaybe 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 dreamsThe 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 lightTogether let us hold the dark up to the light
Together let us hold the dark up to the lightThe 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 worldThe 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 conversationI’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 WhenTake out your blue, blue dress
Put on your dancing shoes
We’re going out to fill the night
With a moon and a swingI’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 usWhere the lips of the moon
Quench the night’s desires
All the words I heard from you
I just couldn’t shakeI’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 WhenNot 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 ownDo 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 rainI 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 alrightDo 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 treatedWe 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 redDo 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 growLet’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 youThat’s the sound it’s so sure
That’s the sound of sweet rapture
Your life is made of stars
Crawling across years to youLet’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 youLook now at what is started
Faithful to the open hearted
You shine your light darkness does not overcome
Darkness does not overcomeLet’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 meHere is my hand
Here is my heart
Here is my mind
Here is my loveHoping to be spilled in with the flowing river
Please consider me, I’m heading to higher groundHere is my hand
Here is my heart
Here is my mind
Here is my loveLike 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 meHere is my hand
Here is my heart
Here is my mind
Here is my loveLike seeing shadows on a cloudy day
Painted pictures of you hung all down the hall
We take our stand wherever you goHere 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 todaycarry 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 gowhen 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 timewhen 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 youI cannot face that lonely day
With no fever of your touch and swayBut 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 dayThe road from the sea leads to the sky
The beat’s driven by the tumbling moonWhen all the worlds around us rage
Can’t keep the dawn from drawing nearBut 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 dayMy tired mind going’ round and round
You’re here and then you’re gone againWhen you walk out across my life
Like a star shoots across the skyBut 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 anywhereDon’t want love
If I gotta fake it
Oh, no
Don’t want love
If I gotta fake itI really want you to be my friend
I hope that you are not too lonely hereDon’t want love
If I gotta fake it
Oh, no
Don’t want love
If I gotta fake itThere are so many lives I’ve wanted to lead
But I would trade them all for ours againDon’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
