There And Back Again

Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind

Chorus:
And i know someday i might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as i've got the wind
The wind and your love to carry me

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But i know in you i've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy
In jealousy

Chorus

Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind

Chorus

To carry me
Please carry me

Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
But now....

What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night
Without your lullaby

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart
He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
And now...

As his dreams go flashing by
He begins to hear
A lonely lullaby

Well now
We used to sing
And we used to cry
Through everything
In our children's lullaby

Little girl on the street with nobody around
Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground
She shuts her eyes and she wonders is this a mistake
Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days
And still...

She believes that she'll get by
On her own without
Her little boy's lullaby

Little boy prays to god to answer his song
To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone
Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars
So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars
And he screams...

Little girl won't you hear my cry
Won't you come back home
To your lover's lullaby

Little girl down by the waterside
Goodbye

No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face
Cool sand upon the place where i once kissed you
And held you close
Now i will reach for the stars
Because oh my love, that's where you are


Chorus:
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea

Waves crash break the silence
Gulls cry a song of lament
I walk on through the stormy night
The air cries flash of anger
Dark night enshrouds the stranger all alone without you
Now i will reach for the stars
Because oh my love, that's where you are

Chorus

No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touching my face
Cool sand upon the place where i once kissed you
And held you close
Now i will reach for the stars
Because oh my love, that's where you are


Chorus

When i was just a young boy
My mama said to me
Don't fall in love willingly

Now that is all forgotten
Unwilling memory

But if you change your mind
I will walk the line
I'll follow....
Willingly

We used to talk about it
But now it seems the wind has blown your way
And i have come to doubt it
That you and i will ever love again

'cause good enough is one thing
That i will never be
And i admit it all
Willingly

And now the times are changing
The things i've seen before don't look the same
My life is rearranging
But falls apart with whispers of your name

And though i swear to love you
With all sincerity
I'll slowly fade away
Willingly

The sun is on my shoulders
Perhaps it's colder for i've lost some pride
Or maybe it's the absence
Of all the joy i felt right by your side

And when the storm was over
I found your memory
And i will hold it warm
Willingly

A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air
One says to another
Hey i'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend

Chorus:
Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

Summer's here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says

Chorus

It's three a.m. and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues he says

Chorus

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now

Sometimes i wish
That we all were immortal
And the game of life always had a happy end
But i know it's not true oh time keeps passing
But i'm just glad to spend my time
With you

Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now
