[intro] [verse 1] i saw you standin' where the cypress leans, a glint of gold amid the tangled evergreens. and oh, did you shine so bright upon their leaves, although, it seems, it was all a dream, my letter had creased, and its ink had dried, long before i ever once caught your pretty eyes, and so, i stretched a hand out to your passin' ship, as it sailed off for its long and distant trip .. two driftin' souls that caught a different swell, with lovin' secrets that weβll never tell.. [pre-chorus] but oh, the tides are pullin' more, a gentle wave of ache that I can't ignore.. i'm anchored here upon this frozen shore, while you go floatin' past the open door... [chorus 1] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushin' of a moonlit stream.. iβd trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, and let the calm of the moonlight fade... [verse 2] your life had taken you to another place, to some high valley where the mountains grace... n' you found a spot where the waterβs still, beyond the shadow of this lonely hill... and iβm just a traveler on these open roads, who carries these memories as heavy loads... i see you, movin' on through life, while i sit, bracin' for another quiet night... the stars are indifferent to the paths we take, without a care for the hearts that may break... yet, I'm still here prayin' to the night sky, for one more chance to look you in the eye... [chorus 2] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushin' of a moonlit stream.. iβd trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, n' let the calm of the moonlight fade... [bridge] maybe in the next turn of the wheel, the wounds of time will begin to heal... we'll look upon the flowers bloom with no words left to say, just you and me before the break of day... weβll find that hidden garden where the gates are high, and i can finally stand there by your side... until then, iβll keep you in my mind, as a pale moon in the dead of night... [final chorus] so meet me in the hollow of a dream, beside the rushin' of a moonlit stream.. iβd trade a thousand years of livin', for just one second in the presence of your gorgeous bein'... to see you smile once again, i'd find my harbor in your embrace.. then i could lay my heavy spirit down, and let the calm of the moonlight fade... [outro ] let the calm of the moonlight fade...
