lyrics

I shine into the darkness
The dark can’t understand
The poet’s words of healing
I hold out my hands

I loved you before the bird’s sang
And each day you’re gone I grieve
Your face turned from my stage
Won’t you come and sing with me?
I’m the rose and you’re the bee

So open up your heart son
For all the world to see
Open up your heart son
And let your soul dream
Let it dream

Though I may seem far away
I am with you everyday
When will you see it’s for you that I breathe?

Oh I’m hidden in plain sight
Wipe those riddles from your eyes
When will you see it’s for you that I breathe?
For You
For You

'Might get seventy if I’m lucky
Give or take a few
The only ones that matter to me
Are those I spend with you

Tugging your hair beneath the willow
Telling you to be my wife
But our hair has all gone grey now
Will I be a child all my life
Oh tell me that’s not right'

So open up your heart son
Open it up to me
Open up your heart son
And let your soul dream
Let it dream

'Though I may seem far away
I am with you everyday
When will you see it’s for you that I breathe?

Oh I’m hidden in plain sight
Help me tear down my disguise
When will you see it’s for you that I breathe?
For You
For You

For You'
Let it dream
'For You'
Let it dream
Let it dream

Though I may seem far away
I am with you everyday
Now you see it’s for you that I breathe

Oh I’m hidden in plain sight
And now I see you through her eyes
Now you see it’s for you that I breathe
For You

For You
