Lyrics
Earthbound wingless dream
Child born to necessity
Tied to crimson velvet wings
(She flies)
New moon midnight star
Medicine is in the jar
Head full of going far
(She flies)
Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a key hole
Never try to fight it
Feeling right inside it, girl
Low country blushing bride
Blind to the ways of time
Clear crystal burning mind
(She flies)
Falling through liquid air
With music everywhere
Stone faces silent stare
(She flies)
The old guard on the hill
Can feel the chill
Deep into the freeze
Of those who don't believe
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Damp with this morning dew
The world is bright and new
Her word is always true
(She flies)
Step into the birthday
Right over the old way
We are the horizon
See our future smiling
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Lost out on the dream road
Looking through the key hole
Never try to fight it
Feeling right inside it, yeah
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
Been a long time (waiting on love)
