Day comes slowly - absorbing the darknesses softly.
Night leaves gently - her beauty is spent, and she rises.
I step into the lightness - I hear you.
You're calling me out of my sadness.
Your flowering wonders are calling me home.

Darkness lingers - but always surrenders to loving.
Darkest midnight - is swallowed in oceans of laughter.
I follow into lightness - I hear you.
You're calling me out of my sadness.
Your flowering wonders are calling me home.

Dancing along a dawn that leads to you -
Singing a song that blossoms in a fugue as morning settles on
Dreaming into a sky of brilliant blue -
Noticing clouds are whispering that you will dance with me very soon

Already been as high as Kathmandu -
`Willing to go as far as Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today -
maybe today will finally be the day

Flying along a dawn that leads to you -
Singing a song that makes itself anew - a music magic wand
Reaching into a sky of brilliant blue -
eagles are calling out to say the you will dance me very soon

Already been as high as Kathmandu -
Willing to go as far a Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today -
maybe today we'll make our getaway!
Like light from the stars made ten thousand years ago - comes love, like a gift of sight
Growing stronger every moment on the way home.
