Alaska

Remember I painted pictures of you
and I never found my way out
I spent a lifetime of dreams in the fields of your eyes
Lay me down when the rain covers you
And I'm afraid of the emptiness holding my thoughts
I see blue, I see grey all the while
And when the night comes again,
I'll hold my hands to the skies
I've got a dream of home, I've got a dream of home
And when the winter comes calling,
turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home, I've got a dream of Alaska
Your name is whispered with the breath of my soul
in a hope that I'll never let fade
Between the mist on the waves and the blue of the sky,
I threw a rose to the sea in your name
Now listen somewhere tonight, there are tears on the wind
Are they yours? Are they mine? I don't know
I'm crying out to the skies
I hope you're with me tonight
I've got a dream of home I've got a dream of home
And now the earth is left wanting
Turn my face to the wind
I've got a dream of home, I've got a dream of Alaska
All through my life, I stood tall as the sky
Hold to the things that I knew were so real
All I could feel
Strange how it goes, how it comes to an end
Lord, take your hand
Take you home once again
