lyrics
When I knelt beside the stream
It reflected back at me
For a moment there
I swore that I saw you
But the image it gets caught
Between what's real and what is not
Like a sailor's tale and
What we hold as true
When I started looking back
I only saw my tracks
The way I think I thought
I always knew
But the trees they drink the lakes
The air evaporates
It's a cycle, all in all
Becomes renewed
And I looked out for you then
In the trees above the wind
I waited for your form
To come in view
But the past it has no shape
Some ghost of the great lakes
In time we all return
To what we knew
And my veins became a river
In my blood I felt the stream
Pouring from my eyes
And falling to my feet
Oh i know this is not the answer
I know that there'll never be
All there is is ever was
And all that's supposed to be
But somewhere I swear
Like a river I'll be running back to you
Through the air and the clouds
Somehow everything it leads me back to you
Somewhere I swear
Like a river I'll be running back to you
Through the air and the clouds
Somehow everything it leads me back to you
Somewhere
Somewhere
I knelt beside the stream
It reflected back at me
For a moment there I swore
That I saw you
It reflected back at me
For a moment there
I swore that I saw you
But the image it gets caught
Between what's real and what is not
Like a sailor's tale and
What we hold as true
When I started looking back
I only saw my tracks
The way I think I thought
I always knew
But the trees they drink the lakes
The air evaporates
It's a cycle, all in all
Becomes renewed
And I looked out for you then
In the trees above the wind
I waited for your form
To come in view
But the past it has no shape
Some ghost of the great lakes
In time we all return
To what we knew
And my veins became a river
In my blood I felt the stream
Pouring from my eyes
And falling to my feet
Oh i know this is not the answer
I know that there'll never be
All there is is ever was
And all that's supposed to be
But somewhere I swear
Like a river I'll be running back to you
Through the air and the clouds
Somehow everything it leads me back to you
Somewhere I swear
Like a river I'll be running back to you
Through the air and the clouds
Somehow everything it leads me back to you
Somewhere
Somewhere
I knelt beside the stream
It reflected back at me
For a moment there I swore
That I saw you
