This Side of a Dream

We are wind in the moonlight
The birds call it flying
There's no end in sight
Time ought to stop trying
And the air feels like a color
That I've never seen

This hardly happens
On this side of a dream

Now the babies are calling the shots
And it's crazy
They put all the money
In a big mausoleum
And the wars are forgetting
Their lines in the final scene

But this hardly happens
On this side of a dream

I can carry your baggage
Through desert rain
I don't mind if it's more
Like a freight train
My heart would break before taking
The name of love in vain

This hardly happens
On this side of a dream

Our eyes are the rope
Our hearts are the canyon
I hope you are hoping
We both understand that
Between us is only
Whatever we believe there to be

This hardly happens
On this side of a dream

Stay with me
On this side
Of a dream
