lyrics

There's a pair of eyes tonight looking down from the city sky
like the eyes of a lover that knows when you're not true
There's a fire in the hills tonight a faraway flame burning bright
when I see that flame so much like your heart
I know there will never be another quite like you, no other quite like you
My friends are scattered far and wide, Minnesota to the Great Divide
they're in my dreams and I pray i'm in theirs too
The only thing there is is love
everything else is just fragments in a broken mirror
day by day your childhood mind, you leave it farther behind
and all the while the sun keeps getting near, the sun keeps getting nearer
Saturday my favorite day, I walk to the fields and play
it frees my mind from the vines and the merciless mire
So many things I never meant to say
a lot of weight pushed against the grain
but the river you know it only flows one way, it only flows one way
The river bends toward it's goal, to the sea or so i'm told
i'll ride that river until my days are through
Together we walk this weary world
hand in hand boy meets girl
you were meant for me and I was meant for you
lord knows I was meant for you
And her heart is pure and clean, dancing through a dreamer's dream
and no other heart on earth could be more true
Like a locomotive runs on steam, she moves through me and it seems
she could take all the pain in the world and paint it blue
paint it a mellow blue...paint it a mellow blue...paint it a mellow blue...
