Lyrics
Dakota
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Light shines off rivers flowing through
Every part of me
Wanting every part you
Soft and simple veins make a stain
Or find a dream
If I was the one, maybe I could feel your pain
And the water boils while the night is on fire
I patiently wait like a bird on a wire
Your dreams are made of fear while sleep surrounds us
Tunnels changing lanes, oh, summarize your pain inside a school bus
Summer fall, October ends
Shadows, odds and ends
Winter won't pretend
Oh I know I'll see you again
The wind blows you and me
Catching teardrops in the leaves
Oh, I don't believe that every night I feel you breathe
And the tension boils like sailors close to home
Time is black, but you assume I'll be alone
Fate does tempt itself a game of cat and mouse
It soon will find us
And anything we need
God knows the devil could precede
In denying us
