It's Saturday evening, the breeze is so cool I feel a shiver inside of my dress There is so many things They don't teach you in school Some lessions are tougher than all of the rest A big moon shines over the edge of the sea On the prettiest night if there ever was one But there ain't no moonlight inside of me Now that you are so thoroughly gone (*) If I could only hear your true emotion If I could feel your joy like I used to do One little sign, I'd swim an ocean If I could just find you Remember the river, so wild and free That sprung from your fingers so easily Filling the hollow that swallows the rain And carrying you home to the ocean again Now there ain't nothin', it's dry as a bone Everyone knows you ain't comin' home It's more than your brothers And sisters can bear Do you hear us all crying and sighing And calling and calling (*) Too many nights walking the floor in sadness Someone lied about a happy ending Too many dreams all broken now God has spoken And we still need you (*) If I could only hear your true emotion If I could feel your joy like I used to do Whole lotta love here and deep devotion If I could only find ... If I could only hear your true emotion One little sign, I'd swim an ocean If I could just find ... If I could only hear your true emotion If I could feel your joy like I used to I got love here, and deep devotion
