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.
