How can I help you

See beyond the dawn

When we’re looking 

From the same horizon

on which we set the sun

 

Gently and swiftly

As the bird flies

And I wonder

Who was there

when these wings first took flight

 

Strangers meeting

Chance upon the night

In their meeting 

Painting each with colors

in this ceaseless black and white

 

When I look to the sky

I see all the birds that can’t fly

And I wonder

How are they free

when the birds are like me

 

He may wanna look around

He may want to take his time

Summer rain’s come to town

But that water’s turned to wine

 

Fill your cup, says his god

When the sun refuse to shine

It’s all yours, golden shores

Pave your name beneath the pines

 

And won’t you pave it gold

Pave it gold

Pave it gold

Pave it gold

 

So he breaks paper bones

In the alchemy he tries

To escape from the known

With the past so close behind

Was he duped or was he sold

Another promise through closed eyes

Will he stumble home along

Will the strangers pass him by

In his castle made of stone

Where the birds fly just in black and white

 

How can I help you

See beyond the dawn

When we’re looking 

From the same horizon

on which we set the sun
