Too many deadlines clouding up my sight Too many voices in my ear
Too much of day time take me to the night Where the truth goes walking out beside fear
These conversations we have in the dark They rattle through the empty in my soul
You're my salvation, you have struck a spark Now I'm following a trail I thought was cold
How did one so young become so wise? I think you've opened up my eyes
And if you and I go wandering down the days imagining We will find the things that we hold dear
Like the shadows on the snow Like the light at this time of year
Like the birds that never go Like the words that bring the tears
Too many dollars to pretty up the lies I add my contribution to the den
Till I wake up sweating and I find to my surprise That I can't go out the door that I came in
That old temptation, it roots me to the spot I can't imagine giving up the game
You're my inspiration, you show me what I've got Though you call it by a dozen different names
How did one so young become so wise? I think you've opened up my eyes
And if you and I go wandering down the days imagining We will find the things that we hold dear
Like the shadows on the snow Like the light at this time of year
Like the birds that never go Like the words that bring the tears
Too much delusion dressed up as delight There's too much phony science being sold
I'm in confusion, take me to the night Where the foolish go out walking with the bold
This course correction, it might be into the wind But you somehow make my worrying absurd
You're my connection to where all songs begin And I hope I've got a few you haven't heard
How did one so young become so wise? I think you've opened up my eyes
And if you and I go wandering down the days imagining We will find the things that we hold dear
Like the shadows on the snow Like the light at this time of year
Like the birds that never go Like the first star to appear
Like the coming of the dawn Like the running of the deer
Like love's old sweet song With the words that bring the tears
With the words that bring the tears
