It may be minor, but it's true
that I never said such a thing to you
There may be good reasons why
oh, I'm sure there are
but tell me something now
why would you want to lie?
I've been counting up my dreams
and the thoughts they reflect
at what cost?
I've been running through a forest
of moonlight love
I've been lost
I've been playing far from the sunny side
And there were times I thought
with desperate conviction
that I'd never see another day
just like when we faced
the clear prediction
that it had to end up this way
And I've drawn one conclusion
from this wild life:
If you can't be true
with everything in view
then you'd better run the other way
If you can't be true
with everything in view
then you'd better run the other way
Better run, better run
Came my favorite friend
sat down beside me
no darkness in her eyes
Sang my favorite song
echo in brightness
no disguise
as I told her the story
of the sacred stream
I had crossed
And how, by hiding the truth
of my innocent dream
I've been tossed
far away from the sunny side
where I led my life
living in moonlight
and all I had to breathe was night
and my visions
and my passionate illusions
true enough to stay in sight
But my dream exploded
as I faced the fact:
If you can't be true
with everything in view
then you'd better find another light
If you can't be true
with everything in view
then you'd better find another light
Find another light
