Jimmy Webb - Asleep on the Wind lyrics

Love is a gla** of wine Its balanced on a side rail of a ship Across the sea at midnight, it may not last til' daylight comes And the trip is long And the waves are strong But then again, it might be up there forever I've heard of birds that never touch the land But sleep on the wind And if untouched by someone's careless hand Asleep on the wind Our lives might last until the journey's end Alive Alive Our lives they're just bubbles of time They are rainbow-colored and They're shining in the sun They drift above the treetops now In danger that the breeze drops somehow And darling, that's all it would take Yet we threaten not to break And then again, we might be up there forever I've heard of birds that never touch the land But sleep on the wind And if untouched by someone's careless hand Asleep on the wind Our lives might last until the love begins So stay alive, please let me try as hard as you do To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you Alive Alive Alive
