How can you promise the stars will always stay lit?
How can you say that you'll always love me?
I can't believe That you know the future so well.
I can't believe That you know me.
The stars, they're not yours.
Your heart can be torn.

From the waking dream I hope to see, in front of me,
My children Running up with smiling faces.
Fill in my arms The glow of lover's warm embraces.
Don't wake me up until we're headed for Rio.
Fly me away. I've been waiting all these years.
Then I'll say I just want to stay here.
A memory of toothless grin and fresh picked apples
Setting me still; Living it over and over and over and over.
Free, oh so free! Running barefoot through fields of three-leaf clovers,
Dragonflies buzzing! Find the lucky one that takes us to Rio.
I've never stayed in any place for very long.
I just need to find someone to take me.

You smiled at me after another day of going
Around this unattainable goal.
You said that you would stay there,
But I kept moving; moving on to find a home.
I'm staring into a lonely room the meanest shade of red;
Lonely with oh so many souls.
I could run right now and not stop until I'm dead
If the ground ever lost its hold.
But it helps if it makes me think of you!
And I promise that I'll come back for you!
The river's currents have me pinned in order to claim me.
I get shivers as the winds warn of changing.
Take off this place so there's nothing to see.
You've been swallowed and I can't breathe.

Excuse me, but it looks so warm in there.
Please let me come in for a bit and repair.
My mind's gone so very far.
Please let me in to where you are.
I can make myself love anyone;
Try anything once to see what I like.
Don't you dare intrude upon my past.
I just need this place to be better than the last.
You're doing fine when you realize you want this,
But you'll lose me if you lose your patience.
O sweetheart, let's not start.
I know where this road goes.

Oh, how I wish there was someone here to cry with me tonight.
A moment has occurred, something different, dramatic
Destroying all hopes and plans.
Oh, how a soul holds a turbulent life,
Taking all time to shade the light.
Oh, how I wish there was someone here to cry with me tonight.
I've had enough. Let's have some balance.
Today has been rough, I've thought.
Every once in a while, I'll have stability.
Every once in a while, it's all distraught.
Drifting like a feather, released from home, prodigally falling,
I hope this time that I carry something you understand.
I'm so exhausted I can't explain.
Oh, how I wish there was someone here to cry with me tonight.
