Lyrics
Flowers every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sun-like wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
You shout in your sleep
Perhaps the price is just too steep
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test?
You awake with a start
To just the beating of your heart
Just one man beneath the sky
Just you, yes, just you and I
You set sail across the sea
Of long past thoughts and memories
Childish and your fantasies
Merge with harsh realities
And then as the sail is hoist
You find your eyes are growing moist
And all the fears you never voiced
Say you have to make your final choice
Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why
Some are born and some men die
Beneath one infinite sky?
There'll be war and there'll be peace
But everything one day will cease
All the iron will turn to rust
All the ground will turn to dust
So all things time will mend
So, so friend
