Le Rêve - Lyrics
Between the Lines
between the rain lines
years of memories etched in every heart
between the lines
see the scars, see the light open doors
see the scars, see the light, private wars
look at these arms
within them the strength of a thousand men
the world so changed
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
reaching up, so unsure what will come
how long is time?
can I still dream myself awake?
my shadow haunts the sky at night
from seeds we've grown
rooted to earth and soothed by the rain
climb up and sit
for a while in my arms you can stay
for a while in my arms you can stay
for a while in my arms you can stay
(shadows in the rain lines)
how long is time?
can I still dream myself awake?
my shadow haunts the sky at night
look at these arms
within them the strength of a thousand men
the world so changed
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
still I watch, reaching up for the sun
The Tree
see the scars, see the light open doors
see the scars, see the light open doors
how long is time?
can I still dream myself awake?
my shadow haunts the sky at night
the young jump out of sight
the young jump to be weightless through the twilight
see the scars, need a light
say the words, never right, private wars
see the scars, need a light
say the words, never right, private wars
Against the Moon
the moon is like an egg
crashing on the wall
and all around, it's the fog
I would like to cut every single part
of my crazy bleeding heart
you're so far away
I've got a picture where you swayed
that night when we ran away
so please remember what we said
we'll never forget
our love will be forever
now I'm yelling against the moon
this bloody moon
waiting for a kiss by an angel
I'm yelling against the moon
[that tells me the way so blue]
I can't help you, my friend
I'm in love too
turning on the light
I see the shadows of the night
I've got no angels by my side
so please remember what we said
I'll never forget
our love will be forever
now I'm yelling against the moon
this bloody moon
waiting for a kiss by an angel
I'm yelling against the moon
[that tells me the way so blue]
I can't help you, my friend
I'm in love too
Eden
all the rivers were traveled together
a twisted course through the veins of the earth
can't remember the story beginning
here we are at the place of our birth
I could feel you before I could see you
I could sense you before we had names
even in blackness, the journey brings vision
all of these rivers return to the sea
and the waters have often betrayed us
tossed in abandon when currents collide
pushed at times to pools of great beauty
all its rage in another disguise
on this wake I can almost remember
clinging to flowers that blossom and die
all that I know is we travel together
all of it lived in the blink of an eye
Beam of Light
illumination is the world ending
just when I thought I knew how to make it
so cold under a cloudless western sky
remember me now in forever time
held up to view like a dying thing
and all that's left are broken wings
and mothers' thousand hopeless tears
they're left alone in a beam of light
all alone
the life we lead, the hopes we have
must surely have their meaning
encircled now by the light of truth
is there still room for love?
illumination is the magic spring
the mist has swallowed everything
under heaven's gaze
illumination as the world begins
as I awoke with a new plan to take it
Dreaming
dreaming, imperfect dreaming
caught in a life repeating
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared my own
dreaming, the days pass through me
I've spent a lifetime scheming
all I had hoped to be
whispers lazy in a dream far away
witness, I am a witness
to the darkness and to the fire
gazing up at a single star
I dream of wings to take me higher
dreams, imperfect dreaming
touching just as they're leaving
always just out of grasp
sacred visions of a light shared my own
please don't say you've forgotten
how the days felt when we were young
in fields we lay and watch the clouds above us
warped by the sun
we watched them move slowly
as in a dream
looking up at a single star
I need your wings to take me higher
I'm dreaming
the world is dreaming
I heard the sound of millions breathing
cast into the night
we wait for the dark to turn to light
the eyes of a child look through me
they beg me to tell the story
of all that we can be
when we dare to live out our dreams
