lyrics

You are here in my dreams like an angel by my side
Telling me I will be alright
Leading me bravely through dangerous waters
And living through horrors that I also suffer
When the light comes shining into the window
One of us dares to pick up the phone
Differences seem to outnumber connections
And I hang up feeling confused and alone

Chorus:
And I don't know where all this is going
How I long for wisdom I do not yet have
I must trust in myself and in love and in you
May we someday understand and know the truth

Sometimes in dreams you tell me I'm doing great
Sometimes you hestitate before walking away
and brother you seem like a blind boy before satan
While I lie there quaking, you have nothing to say
But the day came when you were standing by the ocean
And I found the courage to stand next to you
I remembered the dream where you were the angel
I felt our roots going back as deep as our lifetimes
interwined beneath the known

(Chorus)

Lately in dreams I've had something to offer
Gave you a blanket when you had no bed
And I saw how tender you are in your heart
Still when faced with our sorrow, you turn your head

But there's an ocean of light streaming around us
We don't give up completely 'cause we both feel it there
And I'll have to live with my doubt and confusion
Never let them make me forget
The dream where you were the angel
