Unrequited Love Song
I've heard people talk of loveAnd connections of the soul Heard talk of desperationAnd how the world is wholeHeard people talk of unityBetween our lungs and the airHow somewhere the grass beginsAt the end of your long brown hairBut such an embodiment of lifeI never thought to seeI'm dreaming of a woman in a redwood treeI've heard people talk of passionAnd the feelings that there areWhen there isn't any differenceBetween the near and the farWhen nobody is a strangerAnd everything's right hereSometimes words just get in the wayAnd silence is so dearI've seen you close your eyesAnd just disappear and beI'm dreaming of a woman in a redwood treeI've heard people talk of sadnessTo be in the lonesome fewLetras de cancionesWhen the destruction's all aroundAnd it might as well be youWhen they're cutting down your siblingsAnd everything's just fallingWhen you know time does not existBut you can hear the urgent present callingWhen all you can do is cryAnd make a desperate pleaI'm dreaming of a woman in a redwood treeAnd I've heard people talk of hopeAnd the power of emotionOf the overwhelming beautyOf a universe in motionHow a single flame can start a fireHow the fire can give birthHow the soil can be nurturedAnd fill up all the earthI've heard people talk of visionAnd what it means to be freeI'm dreaming of a woman in a redwood tree From Letras Mania
