lyrics

I dream of dreaming
I dream of you
Try to be simple
Try to be true
Townes said it better
Than I ever could
Try not to worry
Try to be good

A pause to watch
The long night sky
Shifting, shifting
Becoming dark
And like the light
We drift and drift
Into the void
Beneath our feet
But love is sweet
And time’s the healer

You are the archipelago
Flung out on the water
I am the sea
You are unknowable to me
I had to get away
I couldn’t take it any longer
I see it in the mirror
And I hear it through the walls

And they will tell you
At the end of it all
Forget your love
Forget your promise
Please don’t forget me
When I’m out here howling
I didn’t do it well
But I was trying I was trying
I was trying

I’m running down the road
Far from all that heading east
Can you hear it in the wind
It brings a different kind of peace
If it’s peace you’re looking for
I know a place beyond the trees
Beyond the trees you feel it
It is in the air
It is everywhere

I dream of dreaming
I dream of you
Try to be simple
Try to be true
Townes said it better
Than I ever could
Try not to worry
Try to be good

A pause to watch
The long night sky
Shifting, shifting
Becoming dark
And like the light
We drift and drift
Into the void
Beneath our feet
But love is sweet
And time’s the healer
