[Verse] The wind hums low across the moor A whispering hand at my wooden door The stars hang heavy Stitched in the sky And I sit here wondering why Oh why [Chorus] I wanna be the one Your shadow in the sun The river that runs where your dreams have begun I wanna be the one The fire when you’re cold The story untold The hand that you hold [Verse 2] The tide rolls in It eats the shore Leaves nothing behind but a hollow roar The sparrows dart Their wings a blur I think of you—just a dream of her [Prechorus] The clock strikes twelve The floorboards creak The echoes call But I don’t speak [Chorus] I wanna be the one Your shadow in the sun The river that runs where your dreams have begun I wanna be the one The fire when you’re cold The story untold The hand that you hold [Bridge] Oh The fields are wide But they feel so small When the night comes down I hear your call A name unspoken A promise broken A thread unspooled A token A token
