lyrics

What are you looking for out there? For the groundswell beneath your feet? I wish I knew just what you're thinking, 'cause I don't know what you said. What did you mean that time we viewed together a sacred view from a manmade bridge over a winter sea as it flowed through the veins of a city? What are you reaching for out there, in the starry heart of our two dreams, of our two dreams we dreamed? The wind was kissing both our lips as we held hands so distant, precarious, heads in the clouds. The while we passed with the gray sky overcast and the people with envy passed us by from island to island, from sigh to sigh. Below the river flowed and the bridge did bow toward Williamsburg with a furrowed brow. And the dreams of two lovers nearby, it overheard as a song somehow. And it wanted with sweet intent to conceive and give birth without knowing how. So it scratched its head and it asked for peace from a fleeting word that's gone quiet now. What were you praying for last night when the chains came off of your wrists in your bed? I dreamt we crossed that dark frontier up ahead. And I love you, so I held your hand and we went ahead.
