LYRICS:
I am reaching for a hand to hold me tightly while I gently go to sleep
While away the shadows of a dream, a lacework tapestry so delicate and sweet
And you, are you alone with a single knitting needle
Trying to weave your way across the sands of time?
And we, are we just waves down beneath a soaring eagle,
In an ocean made of secrets that will drown before they ever reach the land.
Wondering the droplets of the morning dew, reflections of the present or the past?
Longing to let my lips embrace you in a kiss, whether or not love’s meant to last.
And if I gave you of myself would you return me like a gift unwanted,
Pick another from the shelf?
Or if you wanted everything you see within my eyes,
Could I let you in give you the key, or do we all need some place we can hide?
Steal the stars to light the way, mark the sky where there was once an airplane,
Warm the night and cold the day, quiet while the praying mantis kneels to pray.
