Water runneth as if waves never paused to be amazed / At the marvel that they’ve made today / Rain it falleth from the eaves, as a branch might lose its leaves / Never pausing just to please the trees / All waters merge if left undisturbed, I’ve heard / Faces wrinkled by the sun, hands that held a dying one / Sorrows left and sorrows just begun / Mouths they curl into a smile, eyes they twinkle all the while / Joy discovered in the rubbish pile / All cultures merge if left undisturbed / All cultures merge if left undisturbed / Mountains fall into the land, bones are ground into the sand / We are all that we don’t understand / All life will merge, if left undisturbed / All life will merge, if left undisturbed / All life will merge, if left undisturbed / All life will merge, if left undisturbed / I’ve heard / We are all we understand

I used to wake up with my eyes on the road / Sights set on anywhere but here / Busy does as busy always will / Dawn to dusk and year to year / Things I took for granted now are only in my dreams / Things I took for granted now are only in my dreams / I used to reach up with my hands to the stars / And there I’d fasten all my goals / Now, I’d be happy with a big backyard / And with a heart that had no holes / ‘Cause things I took for granted now are only in my dreams / Things I took for granted now are only in my dreams / So, now I dig in with my heels to the soil / I can long but not return / Yes, life has changed but it’s still sweet all the same / One of these days I know I’ll yearn for / Things I take for granted now will one day be my dreams / Things I take for granted now will one day be my dreams

Where did the waves take the ring that my true love gave to me? / Did they carry it north where the fisherman throw nets to the sea? / And how can I return empty-handed for my true love to see? / For my true love to see, for my true love to see? / Dive down deep / Glimmer gold in the water underneath / Dive down deep, for I to see / Could it be there in the coral with her colors so bold? / With a swish of the hand, part the algae to see shimmers of gold / But it darted away, just an animal retreating to home / Just retreating to home, just retreating to home / Dive down deep / Glimmer gold in the water underneath / Dive down deep/ For I to see / Could it be there in the belly of a whale, sleek and blue? / Or, carefully held by a curious young mermaid or two? / Or maybe the fisherman gave it to his sweet love, so true? / To his sweet love, so true / To his sweet love, so true / Dive down deep / Glimmer gold in the water underneath / Dive down deep, for I to see / Dive down deep / Glimmer gold in the water underneath / Dive down deep

It’s quiet now, the sounds have died / Our children sleep, it’s dark outside / The barking dogs, the rain, the fog / I want to be where you are, right where you are / The lapping waves, the morning haze / The laughing cries of their joyful play / The single star, the sand, the mar / I want to be where you are, right where you are / Our tiny room, the crescent moon / Your whispering voice, it can’t come too soon / The single star, it seems so far / I want to be where you are, right where you are / Our tiny room, the crescent moon / Your reverent touch, it can’t come too soon / The single star, so close so far / I want to be where you are, right where you are / The single star, it seems so far / I want to be where you are, right where you are / The single star, so close

Dreaming, dreaming I know you / I’m dreaming, dreaming I know you / Dreaming, dreaming I know you / I’m dreaming, dreaming I know you / But I will fade away / I will fade away / For I know that our time has passed / Love worn our friendship to its last / I don’t know your face from a stranger’s / Hurt and relief, no more to blame for / Just don’t look back / Dreaming, dreaming I know you / I’m dreaming, dreaming I know you / Dreaming, dreaming I know you / I’m dreaming, dreaming I know you / But I will fade away / I will fade away / Your love collapses in my heart / Truly a treasure without form / I am still learning from those years / Forever changed for good / Just don’t write back / I am there through this song / I bathe in beauty as the evening sun rolls on / You are here through this song / I bleed in beauty as the evening sun rolls on / I will fade away / I will fade away / I will fade away / I will fade away

Far from home where I belong / A force carries me safely along / A child holds my hand like I’m strong / Yes, I’m strong / Yes, I’m strong / Distant lands I roam / To find in you my home / I’m not alone / Friend, may I call you that name? / Your eyes tell me you feel the same / Like souls finally meeting again / Let’s meet again, and then again / Distant Lands I roam, to find in you my home / I’m not alone / Over the land, o’er the sea / In darkness, my love waits for me / In longing, my heart, it wants free / Oh yes it’s free, oh yes it’s free / Distant lands I roam to find in you my home / I’m not alone

I’ve had a heart at peace before / I’ve felt the waters, how deep and calm they go / I’ve felt relief and I know what it’s for / But I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / No, I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / A heart at war, it don’t ever rest / It’s churning, it’s yearning, it’s holding fast / It don’t care if you’re dying for sleep at last / Trying to forget the past / I’ve had a heart at peace before / I’ve felt the waters, how deep and calm they go / I’ve felt relief and I know what it’s for / But I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / No, I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / I know my peace, it ain’t none but mine / And I can’t please everybody every single time / Some things won’t resolve, not ever, in this life / I can only own what’s mine / I’ve had a heart at peace before / I’ve felt the waters, how deep and calm they go / I’ve felt relief and I know what it’s for / But I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / No, I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / No, I can’t seem to get rid of this heart at war / Well, I just need to get rid of this heart at war

Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / I’ll tell you right here, our pain is just freedom / That we don’t think we’re worthy of / No, we’re worthy more than we know / I’ve lived enough years to love all the seasons / To crave a walk in the snow / Just so I can be alone / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Tedious and brief are my days worth living / Yes, they’re worth every breath of my soul / Every hearthache, every hole / I’ve lived enough years to know love’s just a reason / To let our hearts break again / Oh, that feeling is how we grow / Go nice and slow /
Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Go nice and slow / Easy on me, easy on you / Broken and whole / Easy on me, easy on you
