Over You

I stand over you And I fall under you I pray that I'll love you I pray I'll be better to you It's not enough to watch the sparrows flying Or listen to the songs they sing I want to be a bird with graceful wings One of the finer things I'm sick over you I could hold you forever I pray that I'll leave you I pray for the space to give you It's not enough to feel the ocean's stillness Or listen to the palm trees sway I want to be the peace that makes you stay I'm wiser but I'm running out of time This sadness hanging on me all the time I could have paid attention but I lied to myself For so long I lost the light Now I've cried over you Cause I fall back on you Some day when you need me Some day like you always tell me It's not enough to dream of redwood beaches When they're burning in the summer smoke I wanna be the truth and let you go One in a million hearts and I know I wanna be the truth and let you go
