v1
I hope that love
Is all around me
There is the sun
Shining down and warming up the sea
[ch]
Sometimes
I dream
And find I’m all alone
Trees all around
And my hair is uncombed
Water
around me
I’m floating on the waves
Shelter
beside me
Sand and the shade
v2
Can there really be
No one here
What’s in the woods
So much to see
All I have to do is---
All I have to do is...look
[ch]
Sometimes
I dream
And find I’m all alone
Trees all around
And my hair is uncombed
Water
around me
I’m floating on the waves
Shelter
beside me
Sand and shade
[br]
Around the corner
Comes a vision
It tells me to follow, to listen
I walk on over
And notice a mirror
Hidden by clovers
So large, so bold
It’s too....heavy to hold
It tells me what I need to know
Sometimes when I dream
I am not alone
