Lyrics

Did you see the rain today
Rushing down the alleyway
With all the words I couldn’t say
To you
And did you hear the wind at dawn
Crying dry tears for all that’s gone
A swirl of brown leaves and the storm came
Rolling on

Oh I know a change is coming
The water’s rising, I reach for something
I can hold on to, something to pull me through
A silver vessel, a dream of morning blue
Change the view

Are the nights long where you are
Ten thousand sheep, one million stars
I count the dark miles that keep you far
From me
Or are the days bright in your world
Sapphire waves topped with lovely pearls
Long coast of white sand and pretty,
Pretty girls

Oh I hope a change is coming
Lakes here are frozen, I reach for something
I can hold on to, something to pull me through
A silver vessel, a dream of morning blue
Change the view
Change like you

I close my eyes, still sometimes it gets through
The image, the promise, the lie that was you
Wear my dark glasses, look down, change the lens
Until I can see clearly, find my way again

Give me something I can name
A simple picture to fit the frame
Familiar image to replace the ones I lose
Change the view
Change the view
