Mirador

So uncertain I double as a shadow or someone who doesn't understand.
Blatant or misshapen and far too weary to pretend to understand.
In my mind's eye, I am love's pauper and I am going nowhere.
But, I know there's a little piece of heaven - a piece of heaven somewhere.
Idly, Idly, please come take my hand.
Somewhere I know there is a castle floating in the air.
Idly I am taking my time but someday, I will be there.
Idly, Idly, Idly, please come take my hand.

A southern breeze and this road I'm on,
I wonder if I'll see the end.
The city of my sleep where angels dream,
Wrapped up closely to the dawn.
Follow time, like a ghost,
Follow time, like a ghost, I long to wander.
I fell into an angel's dream, I think I left my senses there,
Along with all those forgotten things I left my senses there.
Follow time, like a ghost,
Follow time, like a ghost, I long to wander.
This is the time that we have longed for, that we have longed for.
From far away, far away,
I ask that you would stay in my tranquil dreams,
Tranquil dreams, tranquil dreams.

Christine made a little doll and it glowed in the dark.
And it cried out her name, Christine.
Christine lived in a wooden house
Where she made that little doll that glowed in the dark
And cried out her name, Christine.
Christine had to move away because the doll drove her mad
Because it cried out her name
And it cried in the dark, Christine.
Christine left the doll behind
And it sits in a sad room
Where it glows in the dark
And it cries out her name, Christine.

There's someone who'll hold your hand,
Take you through a troubled land.
It's not the promised land but the weary heart abides.
Listen to the words that fade and the sheltered bed that's made.
Those who fall away they just fall into a void.
There's someone who's out of control,
There's someone we both know,
With their head held high,
In the clouds, in the sky.
There's someone who longs to laugh,
Drift away from the past.
And share a thought or two and do the things that lovers do.
There's someone who's out of control,
There's someone we both know,
With their head held high, in the clouds, in the sky.

I don't care what they say,
I'm gonna keep it anyway.
I won't let them stretch their necks,
To see my little black egg with the little white specks.
I found it in a tree just the other day,
Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.
There comes Mary, there comes Lee :
I'll bet what they want to see.
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks.
I found it in a tree just the other day,
Now it's mine all mine, they can't take it away.
Oh my, what can I do ? Little black agg's gonna tell on you.
I won't let them stretch their necks
To see my little black egg with the little white specks

There goes the other side,
And It goes on without us, it goes on.
And soon you'll know just how I feel
When you know, you'll understand.
There's the way you are your own
And what is lost and what is gone.
I hope you'll see some happiness
When you see, you'll understand.
Holding on to words that no one can hold on to,
Leave the words behind you.
I hope you'll see some happiness
And when you see, you'll understand.
You'll understand, you'll understand
And soon you'll know just how I feel.

There's a place where I know,
We can walk in the flowers and weeds where they grow.
But, I left you back there looking far off with the sun on your hair.
By some strange design I feign to believe that this image was mine.
The shape of your hand in a dream I see a mysterious plan.
