lyrics

I wrote a letter and it said
"By the time you read this, my dreams will all be dead,
Carried away upon your head"
That's how the letter read.

I leave my footprints in the sand,
But by the morning they'll be swept away,
by the turning of the clock hands.
And there'll be no mark where I stand.

And now I'm standing on a cliff listening for an answer:
"Is this everything there is, or is there something after?"
I guess that's another answer I am not destined to find.

I wonder where the river flows.
Probably away to the same place all the time goes.
I've got this itching beneath my toes,
It's time to hit the road.

To look for all I cannot find.
I ask directions but it's the blind leading the blind.
The maps lie only in our minds,
And yours is different from mine.

And now I'm standing on a cliff listening for an answer:
"Is this everything there is, or is there something after?"
I guess that's another answer I am not destined to find.

You were my dream catcher, you kept my hopes safe and my fears at bay.
You were my dream catcher, you kept my hopes safe and my fears at bay.
But now you hang upon the wall above an empty bed, and my dreams have gotten away.
I hope they float back your way, someday.
