Walking alone through this landscape
I would never have thought
it could get this cold
though a dream for my jacket
and a song my provision
it's so hard when that dream is untold
There are so many pastures
yet to be discovered
there are so many dreams to be dreamt by you
there are so many visions
yet to be recovered
from that moment you knew to be true
I know its dreaming out loud
but that is one game I know for certain
I know how to play
I caught a caterpillar
with my fingers, he was stiller
that the ocean on that evening
when the winds had gone
so I asked him if I'd hurt him
and he answered it's for certain
if you think you can hear me
I'm fine
I know it's dreaming out loud
but that is one game I know for certain
I know how to play
It was so cold I was freezing
I couldn't help weeping
I knew without echoes
I'd fade
but then again, said the caterpillar
what you really need
is one dream to guide you, one song to carry you
through all the love that you've lost
Returning to my senses
I discovered that my fences
had been put there by yours truly
in self defense
for if I had really heard him
(and I know that I had heard him)
then it's plainer than daylight
stronger than sunshine
that thought is so much faster than light
Running through the meadow
playing catch up with my shadow
while involved in conversation with this butterfly
I was telling him a story
about a friend and how the seasons
that were self imposed between us would sigh
And while painting crazy circles
with his wings across the meadow
through the sunshine came his question
tell me who's that friend
I don't know how to describe it
but when I was trying to hide it
every thought of you shone through and he'd smile
I guess it's dreaming out loud
but that is one game I know for certain
I know how to play
And there is one dream I know for certain
always will stay
And it's morning and the road ahead
is shining my way
And it's plainer than daylight
stronger than sunshine
that thought is so much faster than light
