Down by the bayou, |
|
Down by the bayou, I saw |
|
Good things inside you |
|
Good things inside you, they call |
|
Into my memories of old, |
|
Tell me what you know! |
|
I saw a man there, |
|
I saw a man and sat down |
|
I shook his hand there |
|
I shook his hand, he laughed loud |
|
And put a question to my heart |
|
A question, oh, so sharp |
|
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this! |
|
Angels speak of a thing called bliss |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah! |
|
So what to say love |
|
So what to say when that turned |
|
I was overwhelmed and |
|
I stood and let my house burn |
|
Cause I saw horses in the sky, |
|
Let me take that ride! |
|
I walked on there, |
|
I walked on with thoughts deep |
|
I never knew that love could dig way down and bury me |
|
I turn and face I do not run |
|
Another chapter has begun, forever one! |
|
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this! |
|
'Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this! |
|
Angels speak of a thing called bliss |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah! |
|
So what to say love |
|
So what to say when that turned |
|
I was overwhelmed and |
|
I stood and let my house burn |
|
Cause I saw horses in the sky, |
|
Let me take that ride! |
|
If I'm straying far away, I get down and start to pray |
|
Cause I know, I know |
|
That my song will reach those heavens |
|
I stand up I'm not forgetting |
|
I know, I know, I know! |
|
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, |
|
Close your eyes all we got is this! |
|
'Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish, |
