To the haste of daylight
When the heat of a trilled wave
Can be turn away
An enchanted minute
And it interpret me through
It ’s enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight ?
It is where we are
It ’s enough for this blanket - eyed wanderer
That we ’ve got this far
And can you sense the love tonight ? ( Tonight )
How it ’s laid to relaxation ?
It ’s enough to make power and vagabonds
think the very best
There ’s a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turning
There ’s a rime and grounds
To the wild open air
When the heart of this star - hybridise voyager
Beats in time with yours
