|
Sometimes when I lay down at night |
|
I swear I can see to heaven |
|
For it's in dreaming that the things I always knew |
|
Are the only thoughts I have |
|
And when I look up at you, love |
|
Handsome as a magazine |
|
Wild as the sun, like nothing below |
|
Could ever pull you down |
|
But it's a hard road that we follow |
|
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows |
|
People cross this world |
|
Over and then back again |
|
Never even one time lift their eyes |
|
Or think of what they say |
|
But I hear it in your voice, love |
|
Like someone sweetly willing |
|
The hope of all these years |
|
The prayer of a time that we don't even know |
|
But it's a hard road that we follow |
|
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows |
|
But I hear it in your voice, love |
|
The strongest sound I've ever heard |
|
Like water from a well so deep in the ground |
|
I'll never thirst again |
|
But it's a hard road that we follow |
|
The saddest cities, and the darkest hollows |
|
And everything that's far away |
|
And was lost from me |
|
I see it all from here in you |
