I have waited a long time For someone like you You are all that I asked for But I never knew That like so many gifts You’re not quite what you seem You’re a mystery’s child You’re a beautiful dream
Do you know where you’ve come from And where you are bound Are you tired and thinking of settling down Or like so many boys It’s adventure you crave An unbroken horizon A road unpaved
There is something about you That can’t be described It’s as if all the colors Are strangely alive And the painter’s brush Is a magical tool But you cannot be captured You’re nobody’s fool
Do you know where you’re going I want to come too I could be your companion And I would be true We could sing many songs We would travel all night We would sleep in the woods And stars would be bright
When you get what you wish for You don’t always know If you’ll keep it forever Or learn to let go For the lesson is clear But it hurts nonetheless So you ask for forgiveness And wish to confess
But the damage is done And I hope for the best When I kiss you goodnight As I put you to rest I have waited a long time And I’ve been redeemed By a mystery’s child By a beautiful dream.
