driving along singing that ole familiar song
forgot how to keep the beat
walking below it on my feet
then i remember you
a dream come true
once upon a tale told to me
when i was a child
daydream for awhile on you
and no clue, would come to mind...

When you gonna see me falling
calling
like a baby with a nightmare
without a care
you were alert to me
be free
cause you could always see
where I was coming from
high or low
with such detail
you ran each dream into me
like a thread on a patch that
was so old
i forgot how you were
how you could be
so free

Do you know I call to you
when I can't feel the ground
leaves all around, fallen
like i am today

Do you know how I lay
with dismay across my hands
in written words
you understand
but yet you don't today

And do you really know
that with every ounce of me
i love
like deep passage ways
to spring filled canyons
i flow
i feel that today

Whenever I close my eyes
and peer at you in some disguise
why you hiding
away from this day
today
Do you really know?
