The Gift

The stars appear along the treetops
It can't be night until the sun is gone
Taken from dawn

So where i'll go is just a secret
Between the dark and the cold mountaintops
Dusk is falling

The trail is old, but the trees are older
And as i walk, i leave the earth behind
Out of my mind

So off the path my body wanders
Between the dark and the cold mountaintops
I am calling

I drift along just for the journey
With only stars to tell me where i've been
How far have i gone?

Like a sickness, it takes me over
Between the dark and the cold mountaintops
The sun is rising

Look up in awe
The sky is what i want
You've seen it all along
And my heart is
Burnin' up in stars
Yeah, it's really not so far

Although i search, i cannot find it
An empty space within my memory
A place of my dreams

Perhaps someday, i will awaken
Between the dark and the cold mountaintops
Where dusk is falling
