Always

I walked you down to the river’s edge
Your fingers traced the watercourse
You cast your hopes upon the current
And bid them sail to foreign shores
I felt the quickening of your heartbeat
I heard you speak without a sound
And though I hold you in these arms of mine
I will never hold you down

Take your wings and take your chances
Point your sails into the storm
Open up the doors to that big, wide world
That waits with open arms
And I will know the roads you’ve taken
Through your wild and restless days
And I know that I will follow
Always

You’ve got friends that think you’re crazy
They can’t hear the wild wind blow
They never wanted to go nowhere
Now they’ve got nowhere to go
When everyone you know is bleeding
From the wounds they made themselves
And how long this fragile landscape lasts
Nobody can tell

Take your wings and take your chances
Point your sails into the storm
Open up the doors to that big, wide world
That waits with open arms
I will know the roads you’ve taken
Through your wild and restless days
And I know that I will follow
Always

Leave your kiss upon my lips
Take a piece of my heart
And I will find you where you go
No matter where you are

Take your wings and take your chances
Point your sails into the storm
Open up the doors to that big, wide world
That waits with open arms
And I will know the roads you’ve taken
Through your wild and restless days
And I know that I will follow
Always
