Beside You


*** Take your children down to the water wash their heads and sing .. holy holy

Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.

You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn¡¯t see,but where I¡¯ve always been ... an island.

In my dreams I¡¯ve been an island ...

where I¡¯m all alone, and I¡¯ve built these walls stone by stone.
I want to leave but I don¡¯t know where to go.

I¡¯ve tried the best I can, but it¡¯s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel.
I¡¯m different on the inside. I¡¯ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.

I¡¯ll always be ... beside you.

The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless crying, your life and mine entwining.

As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview, reaching out to you from this island in the sea.
I don¡¯t want to be an island.

I¡¯ve tried the best I can, but it¡¯s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel.
I¡¯m different on the inside.

I¡¯ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.

I¡¯ll always be ... beside you.
