1ST VERSE:
           Crimson rises       over black and grey
                         As the morning comes.
           Silence,            but the crickets sing
                     And I can hear you breathing.
           Water,  mountains,      rise and fall.
                   Rise and fall with dignity,
                   One more day  without   you
                         Is just too much for me.          
Through the eyes of love, I see your face.
And in the words of love, I call your name.
Through the eyes of love, I see your face.
And in these dreams,      I feel no pain.
Dreams                          in America. (2x)

         We seem to go our separate ways,
         Our bodies tune into a different rhyme.
         The only thought that is a saving grace,
[return to MAIN PASSAGE motif]
reunion,                 with the passage of time.
