She kneels before the grave, holding flowers frail But still holding onto life Placed in a vase, she has to let go She knows how to let go
Skylight's now open to you, friend Like a swallow you can swoop and dive Skylight's now open to you, friend So you can see through the window of life
So he traveled far away, passing places Passing faces we don't know With still so much to do Why he left she'll never know It seems it happened so long ago
Skylight's now open to you, friend Like a swallow you can swoop and dive Skylight's now open to you, friend But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart Now you can see through the window of life
In this dense forest of neverending darkness I walk to the light, you walk out of sight Then a hand reaches up to take me [to pastures new] is here to save me
Alone in this desert, is this God's land I've heard of I look for a place, some kind of well-known face To take me back home [to pastures new] Am I the last man on Earth ? [gotta let go the real and take the unknown]
ii) Paradise Road
Walking down Paradise road Is this a dream, a crazy dream edged with roses Paradise road, the land of milk and honey Or the kiss of death And people, people all around me They're pointing to a doorway, telling me to look out
With a stroke, one blinding stroke, the scythe sweeps the land The millions fall to their knees and finally set free Might magic fireflies you glow so bright and will not fade away Is that you, is that really you ? On Paradise road you're never alone Welcome to the crazy world, welcome to the show that never ends
Join me here It's taken many years to see your face again I can hold you, feel you, the real you I remember your hands, your eyes light shot diamonds
Skylight's now open to you, friend Like a swallow you can swoop and dive But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart And the fight that we fight and we know we'll be right in the end
Skylight's now open to you, friend Like a swallow you can swoop and dive But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart And the fight that we fight and we know we'll be right in the end
