lyrics

Silently I move to
the open door,
she is waiting with a light;

and all the songs we sing
are to the soaring stars
we cast through the night.

She dances me over moons
like an angel,
she flies on wings of gold.

And I disappear wherein
the flame will
burn colored darkness cold.

I hold her in my arms,
swaying as the hours wane,
in the sweetness of her skin,
like apples in the rain.

And the night is shining now.
She’s smiling.
I can feel it burn inside me
like fire.
Castles from the sky descending;
Baby, there ain't no place you can take me higher.

Flying through the skies of
an orange dream,
somewhere a cloud is turning.

And my eyes are blinded by
a flaming soul,
burning, burning.

All I want to do is capture it--
the tower glow;
but it’s melting through the wax in my wings,
and I’m falling
into the sea.

And I'll tell it, and think it, and speak it, and breathe it;
and reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it;
and I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking,
but I'll know my song well before I start singing.
