I was dreaming of my love
With her hair tied up above
That fair face that lights my soul
She must have stolen it from an angel
We were dancing by the sea
Said how she’d been missing me
And the sweetness of a song set free
A song sung over and over and over
Nights in dreams of heaven blue
Stitched and fused as one we flew
’til I awoke again and knew
That my heart is always waiting
Still I wonder why I follow her
And I wonder why I care
As I lift my face up from my hands
Again I find her there
She’s the dread of my nightmare
She’s the love of my life
You see a dream can be the highest point
We reach within a life
On the breeze the spirit muse
She calls me out and leaves me clues
She sings sean-nós and she sings the blues
And her fool again pushed over
We were dancing by the sea
Said how she’d been missing me
And the sweetness of a song set free
A song sung over and over and over
Still I wonder why I follow her
And I wonder why I care
As I lift my face up from my hands
Again I find her there
She’s the dread of my nightmare
She’s the love of my life
You see a dream can be the highest point
We reach within a life
We were dancing by the sea
Said how she’d been missing me
And the sweetness of a song set free
A song sung over and over and over
Still I wonder why I follow her
And I wonder why I care
As I lift my face up from my hands
Again I find her there
She’s the dread of my nightmare
She’s the love of my life
You see a dream can be the highest point
We reach within a life
Within a life
A dream can be
The highest point
Within a life
A dream can be
