lyrics

A little red barn
In the countryside
Awake at dawn
To the morning's light

Can you imagine
Holding my hand in times like these?

A clawfoot tub
In the evening rain
And laughter replaces
A distant pain

Can you imagine
Me holdin' your head in times like these?

As brun and bronze
Turn to silver and grey
Through thick and thin
Sickness and sin

I'll love you the whole way

A thousand lives
Flash before my eyes

Never once
Did I believe in a life
Before the one
I'm faced with now

Or the chance
To start again
A billion times...

But when I see the world,
And I think of you...
I often wonder,
How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay with you... forever?

India in Spring,
Bali in June
An innocent kiss
Under a crescent moon

Can you imagine
Holding my hand in times like these?

A view of the world
From a mountaintop
Or a city where the people never stop

Can you imagine
Me holding your head in times like these?

As brun and bronze
Turn to silver and grey
Through thick and thin
Sickness and sin
I'll love you the whole way

A thousand lives
Flash before my eyes!

Well never once
Did I believe in a life
Before the one
I'm faced with now

Or the chance
To start again
A billion times...

But when I see the world,
And I think of you,
I often wonder...

How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay....with you

Well never once
Did I believe in a life
Before the one
I'm faced with now

Or the chance
To start again
A billion times!

But when I see the world,
And I think of you,
I always wonder...

How can I stretch the time?
How can I stay... with you... forever?
