(Lyrics, Music: Peterson, Triano)

You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think I would oblige

and if I tied my tongue together, smelled a rose and fell right on my

nose

Would it be the same, should I know your name

Could you stay for just a while?

You, when I float downstream, buy the dream and touch the stream, I

think it would redeem

and if we drift away together filled our souls and lost all we control

Would it disagree, should I wish to be?

Could you guarantee a while

(Refrain)

And help me down from this rope I'm walking

such a long, long way to fall

and if I see the edge of the morning

I got no expectations at all

so dance with me tonight

Look at the sky, don't lie, just, just tell me now if I should say

goodbye

Fortunate child, so wild, like the river washes sinners reconciled

Would it fall apart, should I close my heart?

Could you hold me for a while

(Refrain)

We're alive...we are

I can see all around me

You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think we can surmise

and if I'm gone too long, this song is all I've got to right this wrong

Would it end the same, should I save your name?

Would you laugh with me a while

(Refrain)

Like the breath of the night we all slip away
