Aladdin

Doubled the top knot Flew out the lattice door Do what he wouldn't Do what he couldn't do No lack of 'wouldn't' could be my undoing No lack of trying No lack of sighing 'loo'

Weave songs of loving late Dream songs of dying Recite the oakwood flame Rings count my olden days I've seen the beaches Breached the peak of 'please' and 'thanks' I've seen my features age My fingers strange

From the dew From the dew, of the fields We grew

And I built a ship for two It waits for me and you In the dew of the fields

Is it real? Is it real?

I'll show you the way Just walk beside the low stream until it fades Into a melon colored field The wind will know your name And you don't have to run You don't have to change

Don't ever change…

We were the candles that lit up the snow on dusty roads

We were the animals breathing life into June just to see faith

Blessed by the cannibal moon and the spoon dipping deep to your nose

Stressed by the distance of shoes & the bridges too far to be named

Was it real? When we held our hands close to flame Just to feel

I'll show you the way Just walk beside the low stream until it fades Into a honey colored field The wind will know your name And you don't have to change You don't have to change

Love is real Our love was real It's a hand It's a hold It's a shield

Our love was real Our love was real It's to hope It's to dream It's to heal

It's to heal
