There's a yellow sun that's rising, rising in the east
but this is not like any one I think I've ever seen.
Something from infinity
is shining more than light on me...
Trapped inside this hourglass
the yellow sand is falling falling fast
Cupped inside the maker's hands
the suns goes slipping through like... yellow sand....
Days and days and days go by
and I close my eyes and I try to tell myself
that this is all a dream
Time goes by and I see the signs
and I know nobody else can live my life
nobody else but me.
Something from a distance speaks
calling to my memory...
Every minute ticking by
I'm closer to the reason why
and somehow now I understand that
time goes slipping through like...yellow sand
I've taken this ride ever since I can't remember when
but this is not like any place I think I've ever been.
One more chance is all I ask
just one more chance to turn this back around
Trapped inside this hourglass
the yellow sand is falling falling fast
Cupped inside the maker's hands

I used to be too lost to trust someone
I wandered in and out of love
It's safe to say I've found my way
Now that you've helped me see that I have everything
I once imagined there were lots of things
That might not ever come to be
But now my dreams are so complete
Now that you're here with me and I have everything
There was a time when I thought love had passed me by
I look at you and know my world has just arrived
My heart's found hope that there will always be
No end to what you'll bring to me
I have so much
I have so much

I didn't lie to nobody
I don't want to be lied to
I didn't hurt nobody
So don't hurt me
I didn't cheat nobody
I don't want to be cheated
I didn't make this trouble
So just let me be
And i won't make excuses
I don't need an alibi
I'm just an innocent passerby
Just a witness to the crime
I don't want to preach
I don't want to be preached at
I don't want to save nobody
I don't want to be saved
I don't want to curse
I don't want to be damned
I don't want to scare nobody
Cause i am not afraid
And i won't make excuses
I don't need an alibi
I'm just an innocent passerby
Just a witness to the crime
I never had a slave
I don't want to be a slave
I'm not gonna judge
I don't want to be judged
Nodody 's trying to kill me
So i don't want to kill
I just want to love

It's too hot for the corn and the grain
and the cotton's not gettin' much rain
and why anyone lives on the plains
ain't nobody knows
Years that seem not to end
go out like a lion and then
Springtime comes stragglin' in
all windblown
It's a lovely sight for sore eyes
but it's all windblown
Do you think it's unkind to suppose
that the desert's no home for a rose
guess I'll always wish I could know
things that you never told me
Sometimes it's so real I could swear
I can see you standin' right there
with the sand in your eyes and your hair
all windblown
What a welcome sight you would be tonight
all windblown
There's a whisper I hear on the breeze
like a ghost that drifts through the trees
like a song that somebody sings
nobody knows it
A dust devil danced down the street
gathered the trash in a heap
like a gift it just fell at my feet
all windblown
What a treasure your memory is

I've seen them down in the valley,
Wild roses that grow by the side of the road,
And they don't really mind if you pick them
And they don't really care if you leave them alone.
Wild roses... Wild roses open their hearts gently by the by.
Wild roses grow unattended and nobody ever knows why.
When the sun goes down in the valley
There's music in the night that it brings,
And the roses quietly listen
To the song that the whipporwill sings.
Wild roses ... wild roses open their hearts gently by the by.
Wild roses grow unattended and nobody ever knows why.
You won't hear the sound of them leaving
As they softly fade into the snow,
And they don't really care if you pick them.
Wild roses just grow by the side of the road.

I left West Texas heaven (it was the only one I've ever known.)
I've been on the road down here driving with my blinders on.
All life was to me was like a truck stop where you want to stay.
I never even saw it when you built your dream right in my way.
No, I just passed on through it like a lonely town.
Playing in my head I heard this music like a radio
in another town somebody turned on somewhere down the road.
Everywhere I turned I tuned in something that you had to say.
Your signal never cleared I guess it matters that you're so far away.
So, I just passed on through like a lonely town.
I left West Texas heaven. No, I guess I'm never going back that way.
Did your love get lost,Babe,or did your love just get misplaced?
Everywhere I go the ghost of you just follows me.
Everywhere I go I hear you whisper down my empty streets.

This ain't no ship of fools
We know where we're headed
We know how to chart the stars
That shine for you and me
It was no lucky guess
That brought us to each other
Our hearts have always known
The way it's meant to be
We've done this before
We know how to live this love once more
Like a wave returning to the shore
It's gonna be easy we've done this before.
We know this boat may sail
Into stormy weather
But we don't fear the endless sky
That brought us here together
So, for a thousand thousand years
We'll always find each other
And know that one day when we meet
We'll sail beyond the sea
We've done this before
We know how to live this love once more
Like a wave returning to the shore

Come and sing these songs with me and walk these velvet
hills.
What will each new day bring into this world so still?
Oh, to breath this air so sweet and wear this life like
silk,
with grateful hearts we reach for this,
this is the gift... this is the gift.
This is the gift,
this chance to laugh and love and live
and kiss the faithful hand that gives.
This is the gift.
So, come and "dance this dance with me" in the garden of
these hours.
Watch as our dreams grow into memories like flowers,
then lay us down to sleep to wear a crown of stars
and know for after all this is,
this is the gift... this is the gift.
This is the gift,
this chance to laugh and love and live
and kiss the faithful hand that gives.

There's a fine line where the dark of night meets the
light of day,
and in my minds eye sometimes I look at life that way
There's a time to every song we sing
where the music ends in peace and...
in my heart, there's a place.
Heaven's not that far away,
and we'll all be going home, someday,
I know, there is a place.
There is shelter for every child who ever lost it's
way.
There is hope for all the souls who've ever lost their
faith.
There's a dream come true for dreamers who
are ready to believe and...
in my heart there's a place.
Heaven's not that far away.
There's memory deep within my soul
and I know... I know...
There's a place where love is always near,
closer than a prayer, drying every tear.
There's a place where grace appears,
always here...
'cause in my heart there's a place.
Heaven's not that far away.
There's memory deep within my soul
and I know... I know...
in my heart, there's a place.
Heaven's not that far away,
and we'll all be going home, someday,

Everybody lives under the clear blue sky
in the light of the sunshine.
No matter who or where we are
we share the light of one star,
so we're not that far apart.
What if everybody prayed?
What if everybody wished for the same thing
with all of our hearts?
What if everybody sang
and all the heavens rang with the wonderful sound
of peace on earth today?
Everybody lives here in this garden green.
It has given us all we need
if love could only open our eyes
to see we feel the same inside
when we laugh or if we cry.
What if everybody prayed?
What if everybody wished for the same thing
with all of our hearts?
What if everybody sang
and all the heavens rang with the wonderful sound
of peace on earth today?
Let your faith resound.
Make a joyful sound.
One wish for peace is all we need
to turn our world around.
What if everybody prayed
What if everybody wished for the same thing
with all of our hearts?
What if everybody sang
and all the heavens rang with the wonderful sound

From the corner of the bar I can see all of Paris.
I can see my whole life pass before my eyes,
And from a million miles away I should have seen it clearly,
But somehow now I see your face on every stranger passing by.
Looks like such a big 'ol world but you're the only one
Who really means the world to me when it's all said and done.
Isn't it a funny thing to have to come so far
Just to see everything from the corner of a bar?
From the corner of the bar I whispered Viva La France.
Oh,listen to the heart of Paris. It's beating like a lullaby.
Somewhere in the stars I hear your voice returning,singing,
"Where Is My Love" as I stare off into the nighttime sky.
Looks like such a big 'ol world but you're the only one
Who really means the world to me when it's all said and done.
Isn't it a funny thing to have to come so far
Just to see everything from the corner of the bar?
Oh, Sil vous plais garon
Je vous dire encore de vin.

We stood before the waving sea
and stared at vast infinity,
and praised the life that brought us here
to take our ride upon this sphere,
for when we reach the distant shore
I know we'll be returning,
rich from the journey
rich from the journey.
You never know what's up ahead.
The tempest rolls and the skies are red,
but, off into the world that waits
between tomorrow and today,
to seek our fortunes and our fates,
driven by this yearning,
to be rich from the journey,
rich from the journey.
... And when it's time to leave the harbor of this
dream
we'll have a heart that's filled with memories.
So sail away sweet soul in peace.
Hoist your sails into the breeze.
Beneath these stars so hard to read,
Godspeed the winds that carry me
and tell my friends to look for me
for soon I'll be returning,
rich from the journey
rich from the journey
rich from the journey

There's a sun comin' up on another morning
as the darkness fades.
There's a circle of song that the birds are singing
that follows the light of day.
There's a melody in my heart
I've never heard this way before.
There's a light shining in my eyes
that's got me waking up for more, oh...
Thank you for another day,
for another day to live and love this way.
Thank you for another day,
for another day to have this chance to say,
ooo...thank you for another day.
All those years that I thought there was something
missing
it was always there.
All those moments of life that I wasn't living
were everywhere.
I know we're only passing through
like the clouds in the clear blue sky,
but I've got all of these friends of mine
and a world of ways to spend this time, so...
I never wanted to be unkind or sit and cry
or seem unfaithful.
I realize that deep inside I was so grateful
Hey, I only wanted to say...

I tossed a bottle into the sea
and I watched it wash away
my hopes and my dreams
'cause written on my heart is all that I need
someday the tide will turn and bring it to me
through the eyes of love I see
there's someone who smiles on me
somewhere out there, hard to believe,
somebody cares for me
From down in this valley
and up through the trees the
face of the midnight moon lights on the sea
here inside this lonely shell hope brings life the
distant bell
'cause somewhere out there, hard to believe,
somebody cares for me
though i hear you you singing soft melody
through the eyes of love
I see there's someone who smiles on me
somewhere out there I do believe

Here under heaven's eyes, down under paradise,
sometimes it seems like we're so small.
Here on the shores that reach into infinity,
how could we matter much at all?
Would it be enough
if each of us would give our love?
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.
We live to learn to love. Oh, mercy from above,
amazing grace, like rain, comes falling down.
We sing our hearts to you, our song of gratitude,
the voice of every soul, how sweet the sound!
We can only trust,
all our prayers will all add up.
Heaven feels the touch

When the wind blows me back
And this world has hurt my feelings
Just a little light is all i'm needing
But you send me the sun.
You send me the sun
Send me the sun wrapped in a rainbow
And i'll wash my face in this rain
And brave this tornado
Hey, hey, you're the only one
Who could send me the sun
Send me the sun
When my world has pinned me down
So i can't see through the clouds
Darkness falling all around
But you send me the sun
Send me the sun
Heaven knows this heart of mine
Is only waiting for a sign
I've got my face turned to the sky
So come on brighten everything
Come on shine your light on me
Send me the sun wrapped in a rainbow
And i'll wash my face in this rain
And brave this tornado
Hey, hey, you're the only one
Who could send me the sun

The bar is almost empty
It's close to closing time
I'm feeling sentimental
I've had a little wine
I've been over in the corner
Waiting all night long
Still i haven't heard my song
Play me a memory
A spring afternoon
I don't remember all the words
But i can hum the tune
Play me a feeling

It's hard to keep a smile on your face
When you're in front of the firing squad
And your last chance to run is runnin' out
Perspective doesn't figure in
Once you've got the blindfold on
And your last cigarette is burning down
Well, maybe I can finally get some rest
Or maybe you could grant my last request 'cause
Only love can save me now
Only love can save me now
Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying
Only love can save me now
It's hard to keep your eye on the prize
When somewhere in the back of your mind
You know the other shoe is bound to fall
How ya supposed to keep your sense of humour
When the woods are full of rumours
That someone's got their finger on the bomb
Nothin' that I ever lost or gained
Ever really mattered anyway 'cause
Only love can save me now.
Only love can save me now.
Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying
Only love can save me now
Running here and running there
Bar the entrances with chairs
All the walls are ten feet high or more
All the windows locked up tight
All the stash hid out of sight
'cause the big bad wolf is at the door
Only love can save me now.
Only love can save me now.
Every prayer I cry echoes off the sky sayin,

January, february, march, april
May i have this dance
June, july, august, september, october
Give me just one chance
November my poor sweet victim of circumstance
December may find you lost in this romance
One, two, three, four
Five days in he cried
Give me a little a little please give me
Just a little more time
November, my poor sweet victim of circumstance
December may find you lost in this romance
Lah, lah, lah, lah lah, lah lah, lah, lah lah,lah
November, my poor sweet victim of circumstance
December may find you lost in this romance
January, february, march, april,
My how time does fly
June, july, august, september, october

Meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings
Meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings
There's a sea of stars ticking by above the trees
There's a hollow log shining in the moon
See the hollow log shining in the moon
Little dog laughed and the dish ran away with the spoon
I wrestle with the angels and dance with the devils in my head
Wrestle with the angels and i dance with the devils in my head
And the ghosts come knockin' when i lie dreaming in my bed
I need a bedtime story 'bout all the kings horses and all the kings men
I need a bedtime story 'bout all the kings horses and all the kings men
I feel so broken could you put me together again
Elevator man picked me up on the thirteenth floor
Elevator man picked me up on the thirteenth floor
Said come on up there's always room for one more
Meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings
Meet me at midnight down by the tree where the night bird sings

Lately you look like you're wondering which way to go
Babe, I don't know.
Maybe we'll drop through the trap door of wisdom untold
that'll lead us down pathways of gold
Or just like the plan for the hungry or the wars that we wage
I guess that it's likely someday
that maybe we'll just disappear.
Like one of those stories about UFOs
dinosaur bones or the dust bowl
oh baby, maybe we'll just disappear.
Wish I could unravel the mystery you hold in your soul
oh, but how would I know.
We could go over the edge that we been living on
for so long.
Or in our biographies, maybe our normal will change
when we reach the next page
or maybe we'll just disappear.
Like one of those stories about UFOs
the Berlin wall or the buffalos

Put your arms around me
Listen to my heartbeat now
If you want to love me
Baby, i can show you how
Love me like a song
Sweet as a melody
Learn all the words to me
And sing along
Find the harmony
The rhythm and the rhyme to me
On and on
All night long
Love me like song
I want to be the melody
You can't get out of your head
Think of me as words of love

Back in the journey when he was a bird
He would always sing every song he knew
Life had such meaning back when he had wings

Je les ai vues au fond de la vallee
Les roses sauvages qui poussent au bord du chemin.
Elles se moquent d'etre coeuillies.
Elles se moquent d'etre laissees seules.
(Chorus)
Les roses sauvages, les roses sauvages
Ouvrent leur coeur
Ou le vent les emporte.
Les roses sauvages poussent toutes seules
Et personne ne sait pourquoi.
Quand le soleil se couche au fond de la vallee
Des notes de musique se perdent dans la nuit
Et les roses tranquilement ecoutent
La chanson des cigales.
(Chorus)
Vous ne les entendrez pas s 'en aller
Elles se fanneront doucement sur un tapis de neige.
Les roses sauvages se moquent d'etere coeuillies.
Les roses sauvages poussent ainsi au bord de chemin.

When the wind blows, it blows
When it goes, it goes
Sends the dust devils flying
In your mirror.
When the cotton trees
Applaud the summer breeze
The silver leaves fall at your feet
Just to be near you.
Maybe you'll look back
When the dirt stops flying
And see that my whole world is dying
Just to have you back again.
When the winter rain
Hits your window pane
You know it only wanted in
Just to be near you.
When the moon hangs low
I wonder if you know
Even the night falls at your feet
Just to be near you.
And the nighttime voices
Are moaning and sighing
Sounding like the crickets crying

If I needed you would you come to me,
Would you come to me, and ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
In the night forlorn the morning's born
And the morning shines with the lights of love
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
That would break my heart in two
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
To lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see

Sometimes I just can't believe,
I've drifted out here on this sea with no no fear
(like little children blowing bubbles in a sunny summer
scene
watch a million fragile moments disappear.)
I guess I have wandered out lost and wondering about
things that I can't comprehend
(like why the moon would want to chase the sun around
just so forever never ends.)
I am so amazed
I am so amazed
I am so amazed at everything,
it makes my heart just want to laugh and sing.
Who'd have thought the world was round
standing down here hangin' out on flat flat ground.
Seems like somewhere far beyond my wildest dreams
someone's smilin' down on me.
As I watch the birds fly past, watch the clouds sweep
by so fast,
I know just what I'd do.
If I could I swear I'd spread my wings and I'd
soar into that patch of blue.
I am so amazed
I am so amazed
I am so amazed at everything,
I guess it's got the best of me.
I am so amazed
I am so amazed
I am so amazed at everything,

I'm not an angel
I'm just someone who has strayed from heaven's gates.
I'm not an angel, Baby.
Just another lost child trying to find my place.
Your love has set me flying with the wings I've never had
If you can see the good in me well then,
I guess I'm not all bad
but I'm no angel. I'm not an angel.
I'm not an angel
but I'll hold your hand to cross this bridge of life
back to the promise land and I promise
that I'll keep this love alive.
I can change my name.I can change my ways
Oh, but I can't change my past
and I can't change the fact
that I'm not an angel.
I'm not an angel
I'm just someone who has strayed from heaven's gates.
I'm not an angel, Baby.
Just another lost child trying to find my way.
Your love has set me flying with the wings I've never had
If you can see the good in me well then,
I guess I'm not all bad

The sunbird sings in the silver valley
And a song drifts in through the clouds down tornado alley.
The sunbird sings and freedom rings.
The valley moon may shine but not in my eyes.
I'm gonna fly...
I'm gonna fly...
The sunbird's song's for what he longs for.
Other loves may shine as bright but not in my eyes.
My heart can only make one sound
Like a whipporwill in the midnight.
I'm gonna fly...
I'm gonna fly...
Father sky's crying 'cause mother Earth is dying
And the sunbird he just sits there and sings about miracles.
A little time and a little more time
And the valley moon may shine but not in my eyes.
I'm gonna fly...

There was something about you that scared me
Could be a snake in your eyes.
But you swore to my heart that you loved me
And you'd never tell me lies.
So I taught my ears not to listen
And I guess that was my mistake
But did you ever promise forever?
I never heard you say.
Your love was like a diamond
Oh how it sparkled and shined.
I looked from every angle
But I never could see inside.
So I learned not to question your brilliance,
Though it faded a little each day.
What was your reason for fading?
I never heard you say.
One morning as I lay sleeping
I dreamed of a morning so cold
I felt a wind blow through me
That chilled me to my soul.
I never heard what you were saying
But I felt your kiss on my face.
Someday, will you be returning?

I always go the other way but my car drove me down today
To a little house on the older side of town
Back when things were never hard I used to play there in
that yard
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
Cokes were just a nickel then and across the street at
the five and ten
A lot of things were cheap and square and strange
And the life that we had might have been but it was one
we loved believin' in
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
I wondered now if love is still the way it was back then
I need to know that life is still a place worth livin' in
There it is just like it was a place where there was
always love
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
[ guitar ]
In a world that seen it's better days it's good to know
some things remain the same
Though standing still is not times way
Take to heart while in it's spring oh love is just a
fragile thing
And I just drove by to see if things had changed
I wondered now if love is still...

I know it's been a long long journey
I know you're tired from your trip
I can see your pace is slowin' down
An' I can feel you're losin' your grip
I know it must seem like a million miles
But you'll never be all alone
I'll be with you ev'ry step
So John please take us on home
Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home
Where we can rest our weary bones
We know at the end of this journey
Another one'll soon begin
We know it's a constant struggle
The game of life is hard to win
Maybe someday when it's better
We'll set our hearts at ease from now on
But now all we got is each other
So John please take us on home
Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home
Where we can rest our weary bones
Maybe when the struggle is over
We'll have a brand new life
You'll be a golden chariot
And I'll have wings to fly
We'll sail away over golden streets
If there's such a thing goin' on
But we ain't made it to Heaven yet
So John please take us on home
Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home

I'm trying to believe in forever
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
Babe, I get so close sometimes,
But all I really know is I believe that we've been making
hard promises to keep.
You want me to believe in forever.
Do you know how tight I'm holding just to keep my grip on yesterday?
I'm trying hard to see the pretty picture that you paint for me.
Do you know how tight I'm holding to
hard promises to keep?
Promises are like little diamond s.
Promises are like little hearts
you meant to give away.
I thought you'd want them back someday.
I've kept them for you anyway,
but I know when I've been given

I'm going home to God's Acre
where my loved ones wait for me.
Sky of blue, grass of green,
and the morning birds will sing.
I'm going to live in the sunshine
of the clear new light of day.
No more to roam.
I'm going home, to God's acre.
I'm on my way.
There is a pathway straight and narrow
leading to the golden streets.
There is a mansion ready for me
in the valley fair and sweet.
I'm going home to God's Acre
where my loved ones wait for me
sky of blue and grass of green

texans and mexicans been fussin' and fightin'
been loving and dying for years
contrabandistas, drinking tequila
drink up, we have nothing to fear
i'd rather be flying
risking my dying
i've no fear of flying
been flying for years
i'm flying under
the radar and thunder
leaving down yonder
and i'm going home
leaving down yonder

Early every morning on Tin Pan Alley, you could hear 'em rattlin' round
Old Jefferson the trash man and his little boy, Junior Brown.
Man, he was a real big talker, talkin' to that kid
We'd listen out the window, you could hear every word he said.
He said, "Son, ya got them baggy pants, your shoes are full of holes."
The little boy belongs to the trash man's, got a long way to go.
Gonna' git you a job as a water boy in the cafe down the street.
People gonna' come and drink that water just to hear you sing.
Rich lady tip you a quarter from the mansion on the hill
Song man come, pick you up, probably tip you a dollar bill.
Say, tell you what I'm gonna' do, I'm gonna' get you a job at the Can Can Show.
The little boy belongs to the trash man's got a long way to go.
Gonna' work a little while for the Can Can, sing and dance for the folks.
Git you a job on Broadway, playin' in a big time show.
Little boy says, "Hey, Daddy, hey, Daddy, tell me more."
Daddy says, "You're nearly eight years old, we better git you something goin'.
People gonna' call you Mister, hang a big star on the door."

Desert Train.
I'm gonna take you down.
Makes no difference, where you're bound
I'm gonna ride.
Rockin' in the cold steel under the Desert Train.
Desert Train.
You got a voice like thunder.
You got a song that makes me, have to wonder
what it's like - to fly like a bat 'outa hell on a
desert train.
(chorus)
Gone like a ghost standin' in the shadows,
gone like a tumble weed when the wind blows,
gone like the souls who vanished from the plain.
Gone like a dream of days gone by,
and gone like a string of box-cars flyin',
gone in the belly of a whale of a desert train.
Came out here.
Washed my hands.
Cleansed my sins; and then
anxious and
AH BUT I found no place here to hide my sorrow.
Desert Train.
I'm a lot like you.
On my own.
Passin' thru this plain.
Take me through the dust storms of tomorrow.

Look at how the moon fits in the sky
It's easy to be lured into the beauty of the night
I've been so lost without the sun
When's the morning ever gonna come
Darkness lifting
From my eyes
Darkeness lifting
My soul will rise
Like a pheonix from the ashes i will fly away
I've had lots of time down here to figure out
What it was that got me trapped beneath these concrete clouds
But there will be the break of day

I wish I was on a train,
takin' me somewhere far away.
Where it's headed I don't care.
I could be happy anywhere.
On a big ol' train
flyin' down the track
rockin to the rhythm of the clickity clack.
Hey, engineer, make the whistle blow
holler all aboard and away we go.
Grab me up like an ol' mail sack.
No return, I won't be back.
You can just take me either way
long as it's into the light of day.
In a silver liner paradise,
I'll sit and watch the world go by,
wavin' as I'm passin' through

Early this morning as the day began
I was sweeping on the porch.
I could hear the neighbor lady singing songs to Jesus
and the dog started barking the chorus.
I said to myself we've got a little band
and we're making a joyful noise
just like bells of joy ringing for the Lord.
Now the riverss , and the mountains, and the stars and
the planets
go spinning through the sky
when God looks down on his creation
and he breaths the breath of life.
It stirs the soul of every heart
and every creature sings it's part
like bells of joy ringing for the Lord.
All God's children, God the Father
is listening from the throne.
The sigh of peace would be like a symphony
if we would all start singing that song.
We could all look to heaven and raise our voice.
That 'ol devil would look up and say what's that noise
and we'd sing bells of joy ringing ringing
Bells of joy ringing ringing

When the green green spring
Is waiting for the sun to shine
It knows the sun will shine
In time ... in time ...
How long until dawn?
Is there any sign?
How long till your love will be mine?
The sweetest dream
I ever dreamed in all my life
Was one of having you
In time ... in time ...
Are you ever gonna' wake up
From the sleep you sleep?
How long till your love will be mine?
Be mine
Be mine
How long till your love will be mine?
I've heard it said
That a thousand years is like a day,
Just a twinkle of an eye
In time ... in time...
Just a moment full of grace
My whole life would be
If you could say that your love could be mine.
Be mine
Be mine

I've seen them down in the valley,
Wild roses that grow by the side of the road,
And they don't really mind if you pick them
And they don't really care if you leave them alone.
Wild roses... Wild roses open their hearts gently by the by.
Wild roses grow unattended and nobody ever knows why.
When the sun goes down in the valley
There's music in the night that it brings,
And the roses quietly listen
To the song that the whippoorwill sings.
Wild roses ... wild roses open their hearts gently by the by.
Wild roses grow unattended and nobody ever knows why.
You won't hear the sound of them leaving
As they softly fade into the snow,
And they don't really care if you pick them.
Wild roses just grow by the side of the road.
