Long ago,
Set into rhyme...
God! Where is my soul now?
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
There is a world out there, and it's calling my name
And it's calling yours, girl,
It's calling yours, too
You know, it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it...
Fall in love again and again
And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning
And you and I reach over the sun for the river
And you and I climb clearer towards the movement
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas
I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me
Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new-mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day...
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along
I heard about a whirlwind that's coming round,
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound
And when it happens, when it happens,
I won't be holding on,
So let it happen.
Moon, my long lost friend, is smiling from above,
Smiling at my tears
--
And each will find a home
And there will still be time for loving, my friend
--
And will I wait for ever
Beside the silent mirror
And fish for bitter minnows
Amongst the weeds and slimy water?
