It's Saturday evening, the breeze is so cool

I feel a shiver inside of my dress

there is so many things

they don't teach you in school

some lessions are tougher than all of the rest



a big moon shines over the edge of the sea

on the prettiest night if there ever was one

but there ain't no moonlight inside of me

now that you are so thoroughly gone



(*)

if I could only hear your true emotion

if I could feel your joy like I used to do

one little sign, I'd swim an ocean

if I could just find you



remember the river, so wild and free

that sprung from your fingers so easily

filling the hollow that swallows the rain

and carrying you home to the ocean again



now there ain't nothin', it's dry as a bone

everyone knows you ain't comin' home

it's more than your brothers

and sisters can bear

do you hear us all crying and sighing

and calling and calling



(*)



too many nights walking the floor in sadness

someone lied about a happy ending

too many dreams all broken now

god has spoken

and we still need you



(*)



if I could only hear your true emotion

if I could feel your joy like I used to do

whole lotta love here and deep devotion

if I could only find ...



if I could only hear your true emotion

one little sign, I'd swim an ocean

if I could just find ...



if I could only hear your true emotion

if I could feel your joy like I used to

I got love here, and deep devotion
