A Quiet (e)vening

[No lyrics]

. . .


Lying on my back the clouds are smiling
A current flies through the moonlit sky with sweet reprise
Hands open I've lost my grip
The stars are shining down on me as if to say "Your day is over"

Riding on my wave these sails are open
I've been rolling on a wind that's never been mine
And all that night I'm floating
With the other ships
I remember when we came together we were just a beacon for the lonely

Yeah when I've lost my way I walked around it
Yeah when I've found my faith I still may doubt it
Yeah this midnight air is cold and barren
Yeah but the bloom of hope it keeps repairing

We watched the sun set fire to the sky that day
We warmed up to so many things we never could have made
And it comes to this
When we were young the world had lent itself to us but now we owe it
All we lost it

Yeah we've lost our way and walked around it
Yeah we've found our faith and then unwound it
Yeah this midnight air is cold and barren
Yeah but the bloom of hope it keeps repairing

I'll search for you and find you
These questions are just answers on the other side of clarity
I'll reach for you and know you
I swear this time I'll pour myself out for you until there's nothing left

Yeah we lost our way but found it
Yeah we will live to see it out
Oh hearts may break to make more room
Yeah but love will find a way to bloom
Love will find a way to bloom
Love will find a way to bloom

. . .


I remember I would drive 95 in the middle of the night just to see you
And I would say "for goodness sake can this car go faster?"
I'd curse things in between that slowed me down
You were home talking to me on the phone
Saying "patience makes this last, dear"
And you were cool as you could be but inside you were aching for me
When I pulled into your little town you were standing on the sidewalk waiting in your nightgown

Do you remember lying in the grass?
We were there so long I swear I saw it grow
And that was when I knew our love would last
'Cause we could wait it out the winter and the snow
And I just needed you to know

We packed everything we had and a blanket in a bag for the weekend
And you'd say "the perfect getaway is just what we've needed"
But oh man when we got there not a hotel in town had a room to spare

Do you remember driving home that night?
We sang our favorite songs along the radio
And it was heaven being by your side
We made the most we had of every chance we had alone
And now I just needed you to know

This life is ours for worse or better yeah
And these dreams we'll dream along together yeah
'Cause this world is ours to share forever yeah
And everything I do will because of you
Everything

It is so clear to me that this was meant to be

Do you remember watching fireworks?
As we looked into the sky I made my plans
I did my best to put my love in words
When I knelt down at your feet and took your hand
Do you remember how it felt that night?
Knowing then and there was where we'd start to grow
You see I just needed you to know

. . .


You are the cool wind that frees my bones
And I'm so reckless when you call to me
But when you're gone and I feel so alone
I want to curse the spell you have on me
I love and hate the way you make me feel
I never know when you're about to leave me

And there she goes at the speed of sound
Oh there she goes to pull me back around

I can still remember that cold (e)vening when we first met
You had your mark on me you know you did
And every note and word you sang to me
Have never made their way out of my head
When you're away they keep me hanging on
But in our world you're only there, here until you're gone

There she goes at the speed of sound
Yeah, there she goes
And there she goes at the speed of sound
Yeah, there she goes

Was she a dream?

All I really know is that your hold on me is way to strong to be
Just a part of my imagination
And like this wind that I will never see
Why you refuse to let me know which where you're coming from
And there she goes
There she goes

There she goes at the speed of sound
Oh, there she goes

And there she goes
I want to curse the spell you have on me
(At the speed of sound)
You get me far so far from reality
(To pull me back around)
You make me feel like this was all just a dream

And there she goes
I still remember when you first saw me
(At the speed of sound)
You had the mark, oh the mark of your melody
(Oh, there she goes)
I love and hate the way you're making me
(To pull me back around)
You make me feel like this was just another dream

She was a dream

I begin to dream with barely open eyes tonight
A quiet melody it sings to me asleep I fall
With whispered songs of hope
That come toward my ears and stick inside my head
And hold at bay the fear
The droplets on the pain reverberate the same thing

Sleep well
Sleep well tonight
Oh won't you sleep well
Won't you sleep well tonight

All that I believe and all I know that we can do
It begins again with day it begins again with me and you
So let's quiet and be still and steal these peaceful hours all away
And we'll claim the stars as ours
I know just where they'll be and what they'll say they will sing

Sleep well
Sleep well tonight
Won't you sleep well
Won't you sleep well tonight

Sleep well
Sleep well tonight
Oh won't you sleep well
Won't you sleep well tonight
