lyrics

Woke to hear sound of the rain
Had a dream each drop was born with a name
If I was strong, I'd catch their fall
Oh, how I'd try, how I try

Rest easy, rest easy, there's nothing you can do
Rest easy, rest easy, these visions are not true
The brown horse, the last jump
The water and the fall
The lover, the lone wolf
The flower and the call

Found myself the bottom of a hill
The rocks and stones would tumble and spill
If I was young, I'd ignore them
Oh, I would fly, I would fly

Still and silent long starry night
Creatures of past and future cry
If I was wise I would not fear
Oh, I would know, I would know

from August, released August 31, 1996
