lyrics

At rivers edge the trail ahead in darkest early morning.
A winter breeze will stir the trees in early spring I'm watching.
There's fire in the earth and sky and ashes at your feet.
The forest sleeps to keep undone the doves have found us.

Are we sleeping or are we dead, are we awake or telling lies again.
I am waiting in the trees and river bed, until you learn to love again.

Whisper to me stories of a better time show what it used to mean to be alive.
We're killing time and borrowed innocence will never be the same.
Is it angels singing or is it her voice from through the trees.
From ashes bring me flames from fire give me life again.

Are we sleeping or are we dead, are we awake or telling lies again.
I am waiting in the trees and river bed, until you learn to love again.

So come along and bring me back home won't you show me what I've been missing.
Before I drown I look into the sky and through the water I can see your shining eyes.
And when I leave this empty vessel spread my ashes through the leaves.
And then I will let you see...

hold my hand and count to three, breathe in my words they will set you free.
Your my first kiss and my first time, on angles wings I fly so high...

are we sleeping or are we dead, are we awake or telling lies again.
I am waiting in the trees and river bed, until you learn to love again.

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
