When I Dream of You

When I dream of you
There’s no one else I’d rather see
No other kind of make-believe
When I dream of you
You make my blue skies blue
And though it seems impossible
The sunshine is remarkable
When I dream of you
Far away, you're close in my mind
Safe and warm with each breath of mine
You make my old sky new
And though it seems impossible
To dream is so remarkable
When I dream of you
Far away you're close in my mind
Safe and warm with each breath of mine
You make my old sky new
And though it seems impossible
To dream is so remarkable
When I dream of you
I don’t know how it’s possible
When I dream of you
When I dream of you
When I dream of you
When I dream of you

Please Don't Wake Me Up

If you ever see me walking up a rainbow
Several hundred feet off the ground
Please don't wake me up or bring me down
If I start a-falling, don't want to hear you calling
Telling me I'm near the ground
Please don't wake me up or bring me down
Cuz I am flying higher than you
A thousand feet off the ground
And l'll be flying higher than this
Soon, soon
And if I start a-falling don't want to hear you calling
Telling me I'm near the ground
Please don't wake me up or bring me down
-Break-
Cuz I am flying higher than you
A thousand feet off the ground
And l'll be flying higher than this
Soon, soon
If you ever see me walking up a rainbow
Several hundred feet off the ground
Please don't wake me up
Please don't wake me up
Please don't wake me up or bring me down

Somewhere Waiting for Me
03:56
|
|||
|
I wake up in the morning in the morning
All the stars have gone to bed
All my dreams of you are hung back inside my head
And I try to remember everything that you said
But your words have sunk back into the sand
I’d like to think that you’re somewhere waiting for me
Carving my name with yours under a tree
Something is born every minute of the day
Something you said sent me on my way
And I try to remember everything that you say
But your words sunk back into my dreams of the day
I’d like to think that you’re somewhere waiting for me
Carving my name with yours
Sitting cool in the shade
Under a tree
I’d like to think that you’re somewhere waiting for me
Carving my name with yours
Sitting cool in the shade
Maybe making a wish
Maybe learning to crochet
Under a tree

I'll Never Change
02:49
|
|
||
|
Why don't leave me
Why do you stay
When everything I do
Won't go your way
You care and try and I can see
A part of you still hopes for me
That one day I'll wake up and from this haze
But you have to know, I'll never change
I wish I could love you
The way you love me
But everything's broken
The way that I see
There's a time and place for pinning hopes
But hope has long been on the ropes
And now I don't why you even stay
Take my advice: just run away
There's a time and place for pinning hopes
But hopes have long been on the ropes
And now I don't why you even stay
Take my advice: just run away
You have to know, I'll never change

Stuck in the house all day
Nowhere to run, nothing to say
I’d better trade my kingdom for a horse
Or a room outside
In the blistering cold
Echoing day-long brawls
Getting to know my walls
Everything is freezing
But my heart keeps beating
For a time that’s finally warm
Wish I could find a patch
Beneath a tree
Without the storm clouds pouring down
On me
Wish I could find a patch
Beneath a tree
Without the storm clouds pouring down
On me
Stuck in the house all day
Nowhere to run, nothing to say
I’d better trade my kingdom for a horse
Or a room outside
In the blistering cold
Everything is freezing
But my heart keeps beating
For a time that’s finally warm

Blaze for You
03:31
|
|||
|
I am the night. I live in the cold
My body is very, very old
I dance around you, white and gold
And I blaze, blaze for you
So many nights you might see me smile
So many nights, been smiling for a while
I pull at you, and I beguile
And I blaze, blaze for you
A silent dance, a silent heart
Been falling from the start
I'm closer now, though we're apart
And I blaze, blaze for you
I am your moon; you are my sun
Your oceans follow when I run
I'll shape your mountains til I am done
And I blaze, blaze for you
And I blaze, blaze for you
And I blaze, blaze for you.

Life Goes On
03:02
|
|||
|
Maybe we were never really friends
Maybe I see more than I did then
Boat’s gone down the river once again
Bending branches stronger than the wind
Maybe we will never meet again
How that would’ve pierced my heart back then
But mud that covers roots has ripped a track
The path led us here won’t let us back
But life goes on without you
Life goes on – yes it’s true
Life goes on – no matter what you do
Life goes on – without you
Used to always hope you’d come again
And while I may keep hoping till the end
I’ve said goodbye to you before, my friend
I know so much better now than then
That life goes on without you
Life goes on – yes it’s true
Life goes on – no matter what you do
Life goes on – without you

Summer's Over
04:04
|

|
Summer's over, there was not enough time with you
The grass has withered, and the air stolen the dew
It has gone and taken you away
Summer's over and winter is here to stay
How I miss the world of honeybees
The way our laughter echoed in the trees
I can smell a change on the breeze
Summer's come and gone for you and me
Summer's over, there was not enough time with you
The grass has withered, and the air stolen the dew
It has gone and taken you away
Summer's over and winter is here to stay
Love is like the young leaves in a tree
Growing for a sky that they can't see
How I wish the leaves would all stay green
But summer's come and gone for you and me
Butterflies have flown everywhere
They whirl & twirl like they'll always be there
But I can smell a change in the air
Summer's come and gone for you and me
Summer's over, there was not enough time with you
The grass has withered, and the air stolen the dew
It has gone and taken you away
Summer's over and winter is here to stay
Summer's gone and taken you away

Old Friend
02:26

Old friend, I thought that you'd gone away
Old friend, you came to visit today
Before you leave this town forever
Before the time takes you away
I want to tell you, my friend
I'm glad to see you today
Old friend, we've walked this road for so long
My old friend, I thought our road would go on
I want to see your face every time
the moon comes out to play
But, you know, my old friend
I'm glad to see you today
Old friend, I thought we had some more years
Very old friend, I feel the ending that nears
You were the darkness in the morning light
That gave my flowers shade
But you know, my old friend
I wish things could stay the same
I have to tell you my friend
I'm glad to see you today

Forever Wishing
03:17
|

You can read your tea leaves
Use a rod to find a well
Anyone could tell you
What you cannot tell
There’s a volcano
On my sleeve
Everybody knows
It isn’t hard to see
Forever wishing to be somewhere else
Except when I’m with you
Pack up all your kisses
Send them all to me
I’ll keep them in my sweater
And hold them when I breathe
I’m the tornado
That you might need
‘Cause when it’s time to go
It’s getting hard to leave
Forever wishing to be somewhere else
Except when I’m with you
Let’s cram our things together
In a treehouse built for two
I don’t care if there’s running water
As long as I’m with you
Let's build an inferno in the leaves
So everybody knows
It’s better in the trees
Forever wishing to be somewhere else
Except when I’m with you

If I Were A Child
02:24
|
|||
|
If I were a child
And you were a tree
I’d hide in your branches all day
At night I’d wave and go home to my bed and pray
I’d have leaves in my sleeves
All that I need
So you wouldn’t be so far away
Morning always breaks, it makes more time to play
Do-do do do do do / Do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Can I keep you with me?
My holy tree...
Can I hide in your branches all day?
Morning always breaks but will it be the same?
Do-do do do do do / Do do do do
Do do do do do do do

If my heart was made for you
And your heart was made for me
You would know that this was true
And that we were meant to be
You would feel it in your knees
Undisputed destiny
You would see it through these trees
That’s if you were made for me
The heart, it knows, it knows, it knows
Oh, the heart, it knows
If my love was made for you
To keep you warm when you are cold
To make you safe til trouble’s through
Baby we would know it in our souls
You would be the first to know
You would always let it show
You would never let me go
That’s if you were made for me
The heart, it knows, it knows, it knows
Oh, the heart, it knows
If my heart was made for you
If my heart was made for you
If my heart was made for you
Whoa
