Song Description

an eerie dream; uplifting

Lyrics

Seduced by a shadow
Cast by the moon
She falls fast asleep
And into a dream
Where nothing is as it seems
More real than her life
Who is the dreamer?
What is the dream?

She feels her body lift
The gift of flight
She feels the light
An emptiness that beckons her
She feels free
The ease of letting go
Just letting go
(Who's dreaming the dream?)

Deep in the dream
she floats out to sea
On a wave of contrition;
A secret ballast
A choice she must make
She will sink or swim
Or find an island; fly away

A ship in the distance
Flashing a lantern
Row towards the light
Or look towards the heavens
Trusting the stars above, the stories they tell
But only when the night skies are clear

The scene is the warm sand
And arms that embrace her
One with the water, the earth and the sky
The fire inside, the rushing of waves
A kiss from an ocean long ago

Suddenly sitting
Across from an old man
She think it's her father
He's eating icecream
His eyes look into hers
the words that he speaks
Wake her from the dream
With a smile
