lyrics

I wish that I could see
your wind in the pine trees
all blowing through the silver skies
into the sails of a ship heading east.
I hope that the light here
stays true through the new year
so we can walk down that winding road
but I don't really want to know where it leads.

I wish that I could hear
your voice when the smoke clears
as you walk through the prickly pine
onto the beaches much larger than mine.
and I hope that waves here
tear down what my heart fears
so I can listen to your magic voice
but I don't really want to know what I means.

I’d like to think that your eyes never see me
but they can see just as easy as mine.
So when the moment came when the sun went down
and all the light wasn’t able to shine
I said, “I’m sorry I rang your cathedral bells.”
You said that, “sorry doesn’t cut it for me.”
But In the morning light I saw your face
While you were swimming in the lake, oh
When I heard you singing to me.
