lyrics
Let’s walk for awhile
feel the wind,
see the sky,
hear the birds
feel like we’re alive
again…
Here’s the place
the place that you adore
the little strawbale house you built
when you had nothing left to live for
You came so far
just to leave it all behind
you were broken
could no longer touch
you had lost
so much
I can hear the angels
and they’re fighting
yeah they’re flapping
and beating their wings
the lonely mermaids
they’re weeping, they’re weeping, weeping
hey can no longer swim
The pretty dancer
what is she dreaming of
Is her lover so far away?
Did he die in the fight?
Would he return on his horse?
With roses someday
When you fall down
Oh into an abyss
maybe you got pushed
you got tricked
When you’ve fallen down so long
all you can do is hold on
Let’s walk for awhile
over the bridge
down by the river
Over those green fields of yesterday
flowers in your hair
when we were lovers
Let’s walk for awhile
just be grateful with all we got
Oh let’s walk for awhile
won’t be long
until we have to
walk across
Let’s walk for awhile
feel the wind,
see the sky,
hear the birds
feel like we’re alive
again…
