lyrics

Wish I could be a horse running free, through your fields as you call to me. Wish that I were a work of art, hanging on your wall appealing to your artist’s heart. If I were a bird, would you whistle along to the song I sing all day long? I remember the words you said to me on a boat when we were lost at sea. It was sunset when you said with a smile and nod those words I’ll never forget. You said, “If God does not exist, I’ll take my own life with my own fists. And if God is here right now then he’s not making a sound. That’s because God is not in the rain outside or the thunder claps sounding in the night. He’s in the sound between sounds. He’s the whisper singing you to sleep saying ‘Don’t you weep, wipe the tears from your cheek your hearts the clay I knead and mold into a vase of roses, or a lantern to fill with fire and that fire will keep the cold night away. The cold, cold night where you dream of places you’ve never been and faces you wish you’d seen before you drifted off to sleep. It’s in those dreams that you’ll find me smiling and dancing around a stream. A stream that flows forever over the smoothest stones; a stream that leads you home!”’ La la la la la.
