When the springtime
drank the winter snow

And brought back
the petals and the leaves

The fields were calling
for those waking

Or those chasing
what had disappeared


But when the blossoms fell
and the wells ran dry

And the sun’s roar
chased away the night

We left behind
when we were young

The schoolyards
and the bells


We were loose
upon the lakes

And fields we
made our own

It was our time
That was our time


Those summer days


And now the winter
is taking everything

That survived the fall
I feel it taking me away

But I hold on to summer days

That was our time
it was our time

I’ll be there once again

It was our time
that was our time

Running loose
upon the fields

Of summer days

I got no love
to fill my heart

And nothing left
to warm my blood

I got no wings
I cannot fly

No way to go
until I die

So bury me
in a shallow grave

Let the wind
take me away



I got no love
to fill my arms

And nothing left
to ease my mind

I got no joy
I cannot fly

No place to go
but where I lie

When my last breath
is hanging low

Let it find you
in the wind

I don’t know when
I’m going to change my ways

I don’t know when
There will be better days

But I’m all right now
The winds have blown away

I’m all right now
I said goodbye to yesterday

And I don’t need
What never came

Anymore

And I don’t need
Words never said

Anymore


I don’t know when
The tide will turn my way

I don’t know when
I’ll be standing where I lay

But I do know now
That you are here with me

And I do know now
That you are all I need

So if you stay
By my side

Forevermore

I won’t feel
Where I have bled

Anymore

I’m all right now
I’m all right now

There you were

above the chaos and the sound
of fury on the ground

There you were

above the shadows and the fog
when everyone had gone

There you were

a floating river
to carry me away

The rain is falling down
it’s trying to take away the ground

But there’s a place for you and me
above the rivers and the sea

So let the rain
come pouring down


Let it soak into the hills
let the lakes drink up their fill

Until the sky
has emptied all the clouds

And the sun
shines over what has drowned


‘Cause there’s a place for you and me
above the rivers and the sea

Let the rain
come pouring down

when you are down
you must be stronger

than those around
who try to help

but don’t see
what’s got you down

or what you’re doing
to get up

and only see you
on the ground

you must be stronger
than those around

to help the helpers
look up at you

stronger

When I die
and am buried
in the ground

Don't cry
upon the site
where I am found

But mark my grave
with a familiar cheer

"I'd rather be sailing"

Remember all the joyful years
that we have shared

And know that when it is our time
I will be there

To venture past
horizon's end
with you

Once more.
