[Verse 1 ] Spring tied up my shoes At the edge of the lawn Mist on the window, Then the mist was gone Green on the fence posts Blue on my jeans I stepped into morning Like stepping between dreams [Pre-Chorus] And the clouds rolled back Slow as a prayer Sunlight found my shoulders Like it knew I was there [Chorus} Take me where the sky is wide (so wide) Take me where the warm winds ride (warm winds ride) Plenty of space for living Plenty of room to breathe Plenty of time for living Right here, right next to me [Verse 2 ] By the time June came , the road hummed heat Peaches in the market , Dust under my feet July on the river Gold on the reeds I walked with the daylight And it walked with me [Pre-Chorus Till the air turned still And the shadows grew long Summer pressed fire in my hands And said, “Bring it on” [Chorus ] Take me where the sky is wide (so wide) Take me where the warm winds ride (warm winds ride) Plenty of space for living Plenty of room to breathe Plenty of light still shining Right here, right next to me [Bridge ] If the storm comes quick Let it flood the lane We can learn the shape of joy in the after-rain Every river bends Every flame must part What the water washes clean Leaves stars in the heart [Verse 3 ] When the daylight thins And the crickets start Cool on the evening wind Soft on the dark Silver on fence wire White through the trees The sky opens wider than it ever could be [Pre-Chorus] And the first star wakes Quiet and far Night lays a map above Of who we are [Final Chorus] Take me where the sky is wide (so wide) Take me where the warm winds ride (warm winds ride) Plenty of space for living Plenty of room to breathe Plenty of stars to lead you Right here, right next to me
