( Lyrics, Music: Peterson, Triano) You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think I would obligeand if I tied my tongue together, smelled a rose and fell right on mynose Would it be the same, should I know your name Could you stay for just a while? You, when I float downstream, buy the dream and touch the stream, Ithink it would redeemand if we drift away together filled our souls and lost all we control Would it disagree, should I wish to be? Could you guarantee a while( Refrain) And help me down from this rope I'm walkingsuch a long, long way to falland if I see the edge of the morning I got no expectations at allso dance with me tonight Look at the sky, don't lie, just, just tell me now if I should saygoodbye Fortunate child, so wild, like the river washes sinners reconciled Would it fall apart, should I close my heart? Could you hold me for a while( Refrain) We're alive...we are I can see all around me You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think we can surmiseand if I'm gone too long, this song is all I've got to right this wrong Would it end the same, should I save your name? Would you laugh with me a while( Refrain) Like the breath of the night we all slip away
