lyrics

I dreamed that my good friend

Swam way out in the ocean

And I barely could see him

From where I stood on the shore

I set out to join him

The waves they were rippling

With fragments of moonlight that somehow

Had slipped through the clouds


But as I drew near the water

The tideline receded

Cold sand gripped the soles of my feet

And sea salt brushed my cheeks

I just kept on walking

Transfixed on this body

This ocean that faster and faster

Drew further away


When it hit the horizon

My eyes took the view in

My heart it was pounding

So strange was the sight

I found myself walking

In a wide open valley

With peasant-style buildings

And cobblestone streets


And as I walked through this village

I grew deeply lonely

Not a soul was in sight

And my legs had grown tired

But a voice called good morning

As I turned into a clearing

An old man was leaning

On the wall of a well


I watched as he reached in

And ever so gently

Filled up with water

A carved wooden cup

And handing it to me

He smiled very warmly

Said come on kid, don’t worry

He’s bound to turn up
