There and Back Again lyrics

Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind

[Chorus:]
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind
The wind and your love to carry me

Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
But now....

What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night
Without your lullaby

Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart

Seems like only yesterday
But it started long ago
Trials tribulations
And notes in the autumn nights

We didn't know way back then
What brothers we really were
Letting the time pass quickly
And watching it go

[Chorus:]
But we stood together
And we made each other strong
We tried to comfort ourselves when the nights were long
And we held back the tears
When they needed to flow

Well I know that no one is to blame
But do you feel my strength when you call my name
'Cause I feel yours inside
How could this be more right

And I have traveled through my mind
I've given all my dreams up to time
Tell me what else can I do
We'll I'm nothing without you

But you, you just don't know what to do
I guess I'll have to lose my love for you
These feelings cannot stay

This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive

It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time

If your lost and you need someone to count on
Oh you've got to look to me
Because it's times like these when a good friend is a savior
Oh you come running on back to me

Oh won't you listen O Lord to my plea for justice
Can't you hear my cry for help
Try to heed my honest prayer
And judge me in my favor

'Cause you know my heart
You have come to me at night
But it's so hard to speak no evil
In a hole deprived of light

So I pray for you to answer
And to turn to me and smile
Shower me with love to save me
From demons deep inside

A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air
One says to another
Hey I'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend

[Chorus:]
Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face

Summer's here and three young men

When I was just a young boy
My mama said to me
Don't fall in love willingly

Now that is all forgotten
Unwilling memory

But if you change your mind
I will walk the line
I'll follow....
Willingly

We used to talk about it
But now it seems the wind has blown your way
And I have come to doubt it
That you and I will ever love again

'Cause good enough is one thing
That I will never be

No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close
Now I will reach for the stars
Because Oh my love, that's where you are

[Chorus:]
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine

We met as two total strangers
As many lovers often do
But who could have ever seen the danger
I didn't know I'd fall in love with you

You are this lonely picker's daydream
Like a wish that's wishing to come true
So Liberty just know I'm waiting
To share this love song with you

[Chorus]
But do you think about me when you're lying in his bed
Won't you take the time to explain
