lyrics

I watch your face on the pillow
It's freed from all worries
Your breath so quiet and so calm
Gone are your sorrows and your fear
Your hair's like trails for your thoughts
But your thoughts are not out walking,
I'm watching you, my dear

An ocean was lost just because...
you couldn't cry
A sky was lost since you never
opened up your eyes
A whole world was put on hold
'Cause your mind wouldn't let your
inner thoughts fly

Which words whisper the spring
to make winter retreat

I offered you the moon, said,
do what you want with it
I told you it's yours for a night
Make the dark side the front,
turn on the light
I told you to go for a walk
Find a place to sit and watch
the wondrous sight

Jupiter shines among the stars
while she spins a veil around her head
and far away, you can see the earth
hanging by a thread
Just like a ship that's caught in a gale
Waiting for the rescue on the open sea

But if you turn around you will see the
dawn filling all the holes in the moon
and you can swim in the craters all around

Lay down and let the sun wipe away
the droplets from your skin, until
you're warm and dry

I swam around in your tears when
you finally cried
The room turned dreamy and blue
when you opened up your eyes
Your thoughts turned my world
upside down
Your smile was so bright
that I almost had to hide
