Timeless indeed...

I Heard It

I was driving down a lonely highway
As the sun went down
I heard a voice right beside me saying
Why don't you turn around
Why don't you stop - feel the wonder
Listen to the sound
Well I heard it

Have you listened to the bell at midnight
On the still night air
It sets you dreaming of the strangest journey
Across the Great Somewhere
Then you start the brave adventure
Dreams without a care
Well I heard it

Like leaves borne on the wind
Our words will fade and die
Only to return
As new life by and by
The passions that we feel
Like lovers wild and free
Are footsteps on the sand
Holding back the mighty sea

There's a place - a secret garden
And when the day is done
We lie among the grass and flowers
Underneath the sun
As we look up the sky is turning
But with the earth we're one
Well I heard it - I heard it
I heard it - I heard it

The passions that we feel
Like lovers wild and free
Are footsteps on the sand
Holding back the mighty sea

There's a voice - that calls us onwards
Down the lonely street
And when we tread the path no longer
The circle is complete
A million souls scream in anguish
And others rest in sleep

Well I heard it - I heard it
I heard it - I heard it

Broken Dream

One more illusion shattered
One more broken dream
Oh that the morning brings the sun
Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again
See how the tears flow down like sweet summer rain
Where does it leave me now
I find myself so free again

Even the smallest traces
Of your sweet perfume
Open the floodgates and I'm helpless
Now as the moonlight shadows
Cast across my room
Only the whispered words
Are heard in the night
Only a silent prayer
I love you still
I always will

Out of the dark I stumbled
Into the light
Only my fear has tumbled
I think I always knew
That I would run to you

Somewhere there's children playing
Somewhere far away
Running with open arms to greet me
Over the hill the sunset
Dies and fades away
I turn and I close the door
With one last goodbye
I will return no more
I'll take my heart and let it fly
