lyrics

water falls out of the sky..out of the sky
romantic dreamers, and sleepers rise
climbing a latter of stars …into night
in the dark of the day.. we swim against the tide

now we come to, an invisible road
that crosses a page in the book of hope
rising out of the waves, like a rose like a rose
calming the angry sea, calming the angry sea

—Daniel walks over the hill
watching sheep under the stars
he sees planets, rising out of the earth
a great ship sails across the sky

we all wander, down old roads,
green sleep walkers, on the road
hustlers and robbers, saints and brokers
landlords and preachers, in golden robes

—Daniel walks over the hill
watching the sheep under the stars
he sees planets, rising out of the earth
a great ship sails across the sky
