Last night, I dreamt I saw you walking tall. You said, from the room beside your bed, "Say hello to those that don't know yet know me as I am" If we could freeze our dreams and make them real... Be still. And now, I dream about you every night it feels. And you always seem to say, "Yeah yeah, whatever. There's a lot to do today!" If we could feel a little empathy... But how can we? We could come over later, with 'morpheus miracle maker'...

Never the more or the lesser, An even keel's much wetter. Tides rise and fall again, Heart's form, echo them, So, heave-ho, down below we go. We work though the night to keep ghosts within sight So, heave-ho, down below we go. We work through the day to keep heavy weather at bay. So, heave-ho, down below we go. Remember the day - save it and put it away Remember the time - crossing the old county line Remember the hour - before the Summer shower Remember the time - it's mine

And so, when you come around we'll open all the windows let the evening out, we'll be sitting in a row looking over England watch the evening go And then you'll come around we'll open all the doors let dogs run round, like them we're living in the Now we don't need the things we needed anyhow We know it won't be like it was before and you know everybody's waiting on the sand we'll tie you fast to the land (if that's where you want to go) We don't need our bodies anymore we don't remember what they're for we are the earth beneath our feet we are things we want to believe We know it won't be like it was before and you know everybody's waiting second-hand to carry you across the land (if that's where you want to go)

When things fall apart love remains Your friends stay the same, The bird on a wire is a flame of fire Everything else below is in shadow The beautiful endless day What it gives can take away The light begins to fail The comet has its tail, The Earth has its sister moon valley vista Everything else below is in shadow The beautiful endless night, majesty in all its might can make the day
