Leaning back against the wall
See how long it'll hold me up
Pushing back, I'm pushing back
Hear the voices in the wind
Waking Birds unfolding wings
They're rushing out, just rushing out
How long I've waited for the call
Don't know when I stopped the count
Been holding back, holdin' back
A Mother's rocking in a chair
Hands lost in her baby's hair
She's singing out, just singing out
Ohhh tell me a story, tell me a story
Ohhh tell me a story, say that you love me
Leave a bottle where I stand
Waiting for the waves to send
A message back, a message back
The desert winds are carrying out
That old song that's coming out
From long ago, so long ago
Oh oh, tell me a story, tell me a story
Oh oh, tell me a story, say that you love me
Building castles in the sand
Waiting for the waves around
To bring 'em down, to bring 'em down
The desert winds are singing out
The Spirits that come from afar
From long ago, long ago
Ohhh tell me a story, tell me a story
Ohhh tell me a story, say that you love me
Ohhh tell me a story, tell me a story
Ohhh tell me a story, say that you love me
