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
