Where Could I Go?

 

 Where Could I Go?

 Without you in my dream-filled arms

 Down where the hopeful meet

 I'd never know what love looks like

 Or how it tastes so sweet.

 Without you running down that road

 In misty morning air

 I'd never see the sun light rise

 Like halos in your hair.

 I'd never hear the song bird's song

 And the joy that shines in eyes

 I'd never know the ring of truth

 That separates the lies.

 I could not know the touch of bliss

 That visits at that gate

 Could only long for a tender kiss

 To come and change my fate.

 But there you are, and there you stand

 With arms out-stretched to me

 And there I run in breathless haste

 To where you'll always be.

 In dreams, as perfect as a rose

 In sleep, where dreams come true

 In midnight lands where dreamers flee,

 I flee, and search for you.

 For in this world, you do not dwell

 On east or western shore

 Your spirit passed this way but once

 And caught my eyes no more.

 Yet every night I hear your call

 Your voice so low and deep

 You say my name and I awake

 There in the realm of sleep.

 And hand in hand, we run and run

 From daybreak's heartless sorrow

 To find the night that has no end

 That always comes tomorrow.

 Where could I go but to my dreams?

 No love waits at the dawn

 My life's a lonely, loveless thing

 Since you've grown wings and flown.

 Where could I go? Where could I find

 The love I miss so much

 There in the green fields of the heart

 Mere deserts, without your touch?

 Perhaps one day I will come to you

 Though I don't know if that will be

 Till then, I'll run through these days to night

 When you can come to me.
