I would have sworn I could have flown   There were some things I hadn't known   Stripped to the soul, I'd reached the bone   In sanity and grace      You gave me wings but took the sky   I am caught in a world that's flying by   Right on course, headed to the dawn   Where my heart has gone      I had a dream that we were free   Free to sail on, just you and me   Far from the force of gravity   Flung to the brightest star      There is a dream beyond my dream   Wearing a face I'd seldom seen   I caught a glimpse within your eyes   I saw the shadow rise      Through miles of stars, a sea of light   Bright as a beacon on the darkest night   Love finds a way through stars and stones   To let us know, we are already home, already      Half of my heart wants you to stay   Laugh at the night and rue the day   Born on the wings of a night that burns   Loving to be unlearned      Better than nothing, half a heart   Better to go than not to start   Who can I ask? Who knows the part   Of sanity and grace?      It could have been a fantasy   Was I, in truth, already free?   Could I pretend I did not see   Say there was not a trace?      Where would I hide the truth of you?   What would I do that I could do?   Gone are the things I thought I knew   Of sanity and grace      Through miles of stars, a sea of light   Bright as a beacon on the darkest night   Love finds a way through stars and stones   To let us know, we are already home, already      I am a fool but I am real   Caught in a wheel within a wheel   Taught by the jewel and the seal   Burned in the fire and lace      Leave me before the sun can rise   Go while the moon is in the skies   Casting their diamonds on the lake   Waters and hearts can break
