Unfinished Life

It's an unfinished life

That I find lies before me

An open-ended dream

And I don't want to wake

I've crossed so many rivers

In search of crystal fountains

I've found the truest paths

Always lead through mountains

I've seen water on the sky

And fire burning on the lake

Chorus:

You said to me

I cannot make you happy

Like a wounded bird

You must find the strength to fly

Time can paint the tree tops

With colours of the rainbow

But you cannot find the end

No matter how you try

It's a journey with my soul

That I am taking

One that only goes

From the cradle to the grave

Going 'round in circles

Like painted dancing horses

Up and down we ride

On the wooden courses

And light from a lover's eyes

Is all that I can save

Chorus

So I'll take the day and run

Out across the open fields

Where the grass grows high

And the shadows fall

Where my eyes can see

All the colours in the air

So quiet that the wind

Whistles in my hair

And takes the rising dust

And carries it away

Chorus
