She was alive as the sun rose
Now, baptized by our tears
Innocent forevermore
You know her
In the laughter of a playground
And the anguish of her mother
While the quarrels between strangers
Dig another grave

I was so close, too close for comfort
I wanted to see if you really meant it
I watched as you quietly performed
You don’t see it that way though
Living is never an act if it’s true

It's like the things I say
I don't time myself
Inspiration is fleeting
I can only hope you were there

We want a world without taking sides
A way for us to live as our own nature would
We always judge each other by our differences
Why would anyone would want to be the same

I was so close, enough to feel your breath
I wanted to see if you would move away
There is no destination if you’ve arrived
It’s knowing that the place is really a time
I made it ******* myself by falling in love

It's like the things I say
I don't save myself
Inspiration can't wait
I can only hope you were there

We want to be in love without taking sides
A way for us to live as our own heart would
We always try to make each other the same
Why do we forget we once loved our differences

I don’t want to think about it
That’s not the way we met
It just happened one day
That’s what I’ll never forget

The more we talk about it
The harder it is to make
Tell me about you instead
That’s what you’ll never fake

Don’t tell me what love is
It’s nothing I’ve ever known
It’s not like my hopes and dreams
Two birds always together
In a place where they’ve never flown

I know what you’re thinking
I can see it in your eyes
You don’t have to say it
I’m wearing the same disguise

Don’t tell me what love is
I want to find out on my own
I hope it’s you that I discover
An island without any memory
And a heart ready for the unknown

A falling mountain stream
From the sky on down it runs
You can hear it from the graveyard
While the moon gathers what the sun left behind

Trying to sell what a farmer grows
You can't get rich living like that
Rest in peace, it made him think of them
Nobody ever starved singing songs of memory

Peace resting at his feet
He thought about their hard life
They made it all the way to heaven
Singing like a stream made of light

He could fix a flat and grow a garden
Children and chores never thinking about it
In between prayers, songs of the country
That's how they always finished the day

Peace Lord peace
Peace resting at his feet
Peace Lord peace
Peace resting where peace can sleep

If somebody asks why you said it that way
It's because that's who you are
That's the show they don't even have to pay to see
It's free and they should thank you instead
Because they heard the truth for once

If somebody thinks you're weird
You should thank them for saying that
It means they've never met anyone like you
You are a different world and they don't understand
Because they heard a language only you can speak

If somebody thinks you're too intense
It's because they're not ready for you
If it's meant to be they'll catch up someday
There is no point in waiting for them
If they want it bad enough they'll make it happen

If someone wonders how you do it
It's because you're not afraid to speak of it
The depths of your fears and rejection
You no longer worry who knows that you are human
Because crying out loud is from the truth you know

She can’t love like she did before
Something took that part of her away
All that’s left is barely alive, but
It's your heart that beats every day

You can’t get around it
That’s not how it’s gonna be
You said you could only love once
But I’m saying God will set you free

Don’t go where there’s no tomorrow
Don’t go there don’t go there
The sun will always wait for you
And I’m gonna’ be waiting too

There shouldn’t be anything
Between my heart and you
If there is I’ll on walk around it
And tell you what I know is true

I hope the roots aren’t too deep
You planted a tree without any shade
I know you’re worth saving sweet girl
The debt you owe's already been paid

Don’t go where there’s no tomorrow
Don’t go there don’t go there
The sun will always wait for you
And I’m gonna’ be waiting too

You know we want you back
Don’t go there my love
The love you left behind
Is only what sorrow's made of

It’s gonna’ take more than a man
To fill the hole inside your heart
I’ve been listening to you cry
I’m asking the Lord to let me try

Don’t go where there’s no tomorrow
Don’t go there don’t go there
The sun will always wait for you
And I’m gonna’ be waiting too

Don’t be so prophetic
Not everyone can believe it
It’s your own mystery script
No reason to decipher it
Just give them a clue
By the way you live

There can be no more light
When wrong becomes right
And the stars reject the night
Nothing ever again tastes like
The past where you long
To be in your old bed

A walk all about the place
Pulling the strings of lace
That softened your face
By her own good grace
For she saw in you, a knight
To whom she could kneel

I wonder how I can explain it
To a child, what is a politic
It’s a man whose lies within it
Make it easy to digest it
But the flowers he gives away
Can only bloom one time

There’s nothing of reality
What you believe fails to be
Enough to explain to me
Why truth is only dishonesty
Why is it so difficult
To rearrange our minds?

I could talk about the problem
How to love your boredom
With leaves falling in autumn
You only feel cold from within
I wanted to laugh with you
Your tears choked me instead

I only want to believe in you
I don’t know if a memory can too
Is a reincarnation a life or two?
What I choose to take will be true
It’s only going to be the times
That I finally saw you smile
