Reverie - Son Volt

When you fade into a melody

Your mind is lost in reverie

You can feel the earth and touch the sky

Don’t mind the shade when there’s inner light

What you do is who you are

Don’t stop dreaming on a distant star

The fortune wheel will roll your way

Where you stand is where you’ll have your say

Raise the bar a little higher

See the shadow flames from the fire

The system grinds dreams to dirt

But the truth walks naked upon the earth

We won’t know where we stand till December

We won’t know where we stand till December

No moment now, however small

The whirl of time teaches all

Notes on high above the low hum

Words and plans forward racing on

Where the wind pumps the water

To the gardens of the mind

Teach the young as keepers of the faith

To love the smell of the written page

Raise the glass a little higher

See the shadow flames from the fire

The system grinds dreams to dirt

But the truth walks naked upon the earth

We won’t know where we stand till December

We won’t know where we stand till December

We won’t know where we stand till December

You’re mind is lost in reverie

You’re mind is lost in reverie
