Lyrics
Hey baby if you live in the shadows too long
You’ll never feel the sunshine
You’ll never hear the kiss of a wind chime
If you keep on looking for a bottomless glass
Your loneliness will never pass
You’ll never drink the morning dew
But it’s never too late to let the light in
Warm your sunken soul
Water your dried-up heart
And give life a go
You’ve been swimming upstream for too long
Drowning in an old torch song
Wondering why everything feels so wrong
Oh, I can hear a singing waterfall
Where the ponderosas grow tall
Wildflowers dance and drench the air
But it’s never too late to let the light in
Warm your sunken soul
Water your dried-up heart
And give life a go
Tonight, the melancholy moon rises
Lights up a pitch-black sky
Dawn is here, now it’s time to fly
Hey baby if you live in the shadows too long
You’ll never feel the sunshine
You’ll never hear the kiss of a wind chime
No, you’ll never hear the kiss of a wind chime
