SLOWLY DOWN

SEE YOU

I BEGIN TO DREAM

SEE YOU

SO HAPPY I COULD SCREAM

IF ANYTHING CHANGED

I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WAS

THAT WE DIDN'T SAY

WHAT WAS IN OUR HEARTS 

 

LEAVING BUT NOT LEAVING

AT ALL

IDEAS STILL CAUGHT

THAT NEVER SEEM TO FALL

SEASONS THAT COME AND GO

NEVER MISSED

UNTIL THEIR GONE 

 

SLOWLY DOWN

WHERE I CAN REALLY SEE

IF YOU FEEL THE SAME

ABOUT ME

IF ANY OF THIS

IS REAL

HOW IS IT

THAT I FEEL

SOMETHING SO GOOD

SLIPPED 

THROUGH MY HANDS

HOW LONG

CAN IT EVER BE

SILENCE ISN'T QUIET

NEVER STOPS SAYING

BLAMING ME

WON'T SET ME FREE

 

I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND IT

I TRIED TO LET GO

IT SEEMS LIKE

I'LL NEVER KNOW

SLOWLY DOWN

WHERE I CAN REALLY SEE 

IF YOU FEEL THE SAME

ABOUT ME 

 

  

WHENEVER A ROAD

 

WHENEVER A ROAD

I STOOD TO FACE IT ALL

I LIFTED MYSELF UP

EACH TIME I FELL

YOU SAW ME DOWN

YOU SAW MY FACE

IN THE CLOUDS

LOOKING FOR THE SUN

 

YOU SHOWED ME

SO MANY LIVES

I COULD CHOOSE

A FEW CLEVER LINES

THAT I COULD USE

YOU LIT THE FUSE

WHENEVER A ROAD

I'M THERE TO SEE

WHERE THE ENDING

MIGHT BE

AS LONG AS

I'M STILL FREE 

 

I WATCHED A TRAIN

I SAW IT COME

AND THEN 

I WATCHED IT GO

INTO THE SETTING SUN

THE RAILS AGLOW

LEFT ALONE

ITS SOON DARK

THE STARS ABOVE

THIS PLACE

THIS PARK

AT THE MERCY OF

ALL THE MAGIC 

OF THE NIGHT 

UNTIL IT COMES TO PASS

MAY IT BE LONG AT LAST 

 

 

  

EVENING GLOW

YOU REACHED OUT

AND TOOK MY HAND

TOLD ME OF

ALL OF YOUR PLANS 

QUITE SIMPLE AND PLAIN 

MORE SUNSHINE

 THAN RAIN 

MORE SMILES

 THAN FROWNS  

MORE UPS THAN DOWNS 

 

CLEAR FROM THE START

STRAIGHT TO THE HEART

THE EVENING GLOW

A SETTING SUN

IN PINK AND RED

ALL YOU ARE

ALL YOU SAID

EVERYTHING SO KIND

 I STILL THANK GOD

YOU'RE MINE

 

THE NIGHT SKIES 

REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES

SETS THE MOOD

MAKES ME SMILE

THE WORLD SLOWS DOWN

JUST A BIT

AS I PULL YOU CLOSER

WAS IT YOU THAT SAID

YOU DON'T NEED TO

EVER BE BLUE

THE EVENING GLOW

SURE LOOKS GOOD

 ON YOU 

 

 

  

TAKE MY WISH

TAKE MY WISH

DRAGGING MY FEET

INTO DAYS I THOUGHT

WOULD NEVER END

BIDING MY TIME

BEST AS I COULD

ITS SO HARD

TO PRETEND

TO HIDE

MY BROKEN SELF

JUST GO ON LIKE

ITS ALL FINE

 

SHOW YOU 

THAT I'M STRONG

TAKE MY PLACE

IN LINE

SURELY MY TURN

IS SOON

ITS TIME

SEASONS CHANGE

AND SUMMERS MINE

WARM SUNNY DAYS 

SO FINE

 

WAITING FOR 

ANOTHER SOUL LIKE MINE 

WHEN I'M ASLEEP

LOST IN A DREAM

SO DEEP I MIGHT

NOT HEAR YOU CALL

COME RIGHT IN THAT'S ALL

ITS TIME

SEASONS CHANGE

AND SUMMERS MINE

SEE YOU SOON

TAKE MY WISH

MAKE IT TRUE 

  
 

WAS IT ALL YOU

 

WAS IT ALL YOU

OPEN TO STARRY SKIES

THE WORDS THE STORIES

OF THE WISE

THE FOOTFALLS OF JOURNEY

THAT NEVER SEEM 

TO STOP

ON THAT METEORIC 

RISE TO THE TOP

NEVER JUST THE WING

DON'T FORGET TO SING

MOON AND STARS

EVERYTHING

 

SUNLIGHT IN MY GARDEN

SETS MY HEART AGLOW

OR WAS IT ALL YOU

I'D LIKE TO KNOW

AND IS IT YOU

THAT I RECALL

NOTHING NEGATIVE

AT ALL

 

SO IT IS THAT

I KEEP TRYING

SUMMER ALWAYS

IN MY HEART

AND LOVE

IN MY SOUL

ANOTHER SONG TO SING

IT NEVER MEANT A THING  

WITHOUT YOU 

SECOND GUESSING CLOUDS

WAITING FOR THE SPRING

THE RAIN

THE SUN

TO COME AROUND

AGAIN  

THE GHOST WIND

 BLOWS 

CHASING SNOW 

 THROUGH

EMPTY FIELDS

 

WINTER

FADES AWAY 

BIT BY BIT

DAY BY DAY

DREAMING DRIFTING

SECOND GUESSING

 CLOUDS 

AS I LAY AWAKE

THE PATH THE MOON

WILL TAKE

IS ONE

AND THE SAME

WILD OR TAME

WE WAIT TO SEE 

RESTLESS AND WAITING

TO FEEL THE SUN

THE WAIT

THE WANT

THE ANTICIPATION

TIME SO SLOW

I DON'T MEAN TO SHOW

LET MY IMPATIENCE GROW

SEE THE SUNSET GLOW

 

WAITING

SECOND GUESSING CLOUDS 

DRIFTING DREAMING 

BIT BY BIT

DAY BY DAY

UNTIL

 THE MAY QUEEN

LANDS 

INSIDE THE DAWN 

 

DRIVING INTO LIGHT

 

DRIVING INTO LIGHT

WHEN DAYS NO LONGER MEND

AND NIGHTS NO LONGER

SEND ME AWAY

I CAN'T WAIT TO STAY

WITH YOU

 

ANOTHER FADING MOON 

I'M DRIVING INTO LIGHT  

TRYING MY BEST I MIGHT

KEEP MY EYES OPEN

LONG ENOUGH

TO LAND ME HOME 

 

LOOKING AT A NEW DAY 

BEST MYSELF OF YESTERDAY 

MY WORRIES LEFT BEHIND

AND IF I NEVER SEE 

ANOTHER  NIGHT AWAY AGAIN

THAT'S FINE 

IN THE SUNLIGHT 

I WATCH YOU GROW 

AND UNDER RAINBOWS  

THERE YOU ARE

FROM MOON TO STAR

 

AFTER

WISHING I  DID

I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW 

LIFE COULD EVER BE

THIS KIND

BLESSED TO BE WITH  YOU

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE

AND YOU'RE MINE
