you were beckoning me
through the tallest of trees
wooden witnesses to the
rise and fall of empires

we had come from the bay
on a cool eve of may
and the trail we chose
had led us higher and higher

and then from above
i could see the path of love

i've been dreaming of you
and a planet where everything is new
how can we make it real?
just tell yourself every day
you are beautiful and you'll be okay
just take control of the way you feel

a smile met your face
in the long queen anne's lace
and i knew it then, it'd happen later or sooner
in that verdant glade
shines a promise we made
can you see its light? can you feel the pull of the future?

and back at the start
i could feel it in my heart

i've been dreaming of you
and a planet where everything is new
how can we make it real?
just tell yourself every day
you are beautiful and you'll be okay
just take control of the way you feel
