Lyrics

Sunlight & Shadow

(v1) Sunlight and shadow, you know and I know
Days like this shouldn’t come to an end
There is no knowing how hard the wind will blow us
Or just how far this old tree can bend
Prairie at sunset -- rivers of memories
Dreamers and lovers who refuse to forget
That’s all there is to the love of the ages
That’s all the gold we can spend

(v2) Blue sky with traces of forgotten faces
That dance in the clouds over our heads
Prairie grass trembles and we tremble too
With the breezes that gently brush through the limbs
Endless horizon -- an empty disguise
In freedom, in prison, our choices are born
To ask or leave all our questions unanswered
To die here in each other’s arms

(B) Breathe in
Say that you love me again
Breathe out
With every breath, they’ll be no regret, no fear, no measure of doubt

(v3) Sunlight and shadow, you know and I know
Days like this shouldn’t come to an end
The sunlight is dying, the shadows extend
A thick cloak of darkness descends once again
We touch, we lose touch, regain touch
And hope for a blue moon to light up the path on ahead
That’s all there is to the love of the ages
That’s all the gold we can spend
