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 straw bale house you built
When you had nothing left to live for

You came so far
Just to leave it all behind
You were broken
you could no longer touch
you had lost so much

I can hear the angels
and they’re fighting
They are flapping
and beating their wings
And the lonely mermaids
they’re weeping, they’re weeping, weeping
They 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
Into an abyss
Maybe you got pushed
You got tricked
When you have 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
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…
