Daniel Amos - Flash In Your Eyes lyrics

Once, we lit a candle in the Cold dark street And hoped the world would one day Burst into flame We spilled a cup of water there In the desert heat And dreamed the earth was drenched In the grace of that sweet rain Now you're the catch in my throat Was I in your dream of last goodbyes? Now you're the thorn in my heart Was I a flash in your eyes? Once, we pulled some angels from Our magic hats Then we danced with them along The scenic routes Here is the dreamroom where we Left our tracks And dared to imagine what it All was all about And cohen was singing "if it be your will" And we heard him singing "if it be your will" Once, we painted pictures most the World would never see And hung them up on nails that held God's feet and hands We built a playhouse In a fallen tree, That you'd be first to leave Was never in our plans Feels like the late great's Around us here (repeat)
