looking out on my roof last night

woken up from a dream

i saw a typhoon coming in close

bringing the clouds down to the sea

making the world look gray and alone

taking all light from my view

keeping everyone in

and keeping me here with you



around you now, i can't sleep no more baby

around you still, don't want to leave yet



woken up from a dream last night

somewhere lost in war

i couldn't feel my feet or hands

i didn't feel right anymore

i knew there I'd die alone

with no one to reach to

but an angel came down

and brought me back to you



i'd rather leave this world forever baby

than let life go the way it's going



watching an old fight film last night

Ray Mancini vs. Duk Koo Kim

the boy from Seoul was hanging in good

but the pounding took to him

and there in the square he lay alone

without face without crown

and the angel who looked upon

never came down



you never know what day could pick you baby

out of the air, out of nowhere



come to me once more my love

show me love I've never known

sing to me once more my love

words from your younger years

sing to me once more my love

songs that i love to hear



birds gather 'round my window

fly with everything i love about the day

flowers, blue and gold and orange

rise with everything i love about the day



walk with me down these strange streets

how have we come to be here

so kind are all these people

how have we come to know them
