Intro 00:49
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I help you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried. You're are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you; so please don't take my sunshine away.
2.
I want to live; where I go, you are; you are my fate.
3.
Paradise 02:59
Green forever, and I'll be with you; green forever, and I won't miss you.
4.
From the depths, I call out to you.
5.
I can almost hear you when the rain falls. Whispers of our conversations echo throughout time. They return with every rainfall.
6.
There are good places where your mind can go and there are parks where little gardens grow there are people and places that will help you feel better there's more than one way in which a heart can mend and bravery can be the days when you leave your bed and strength can be the times when you say what's in your head if you feel scared to be alone and like Hell is now your home just give me your address and I'll write you letters if Hell is now your home know that it is not
7.
Turn to me, I'll do my best to light the way. Turn to me, as a leaf would toward the sun.
8.
The ground is moving fast towards our shadows cast, we'll leave the sun behind. Whispers leave our lips, echoed off of cliffs, we'll start a landslide. We are the wind. Time has ceased to flow. We view all as whole. All is, and all has been. We are unstuck. There's no need for sex. There's no need for love. All are already connected. We are as one. We will be as one.
9.
Unless hindered from doing so, energy will always disperse. It cannot be created, or destroyed, it just simply exists. Ultimately, you and I are a part of the same mass. Death is not the end at all, we'll be together again. Immerse me. I like to view time as a whole, rather than a constant flow. We have already existed, we will always continue to live. From the perspective of the universe, all has always been one. We are cursed to live our lives with a human perspective of time. Immerse me. At the brink of eternity, nothing can disappear. The vision of your hope extends beyond my deepest fears. Death is not the final state of life, this is not the end. We've extended to the deepest reaches of the universe. Immerse me in the allness of the universe.
10.
I feel at peace to be a part of this silence in a world that will not cease to speak. Here with you, I've found, that when they get too loud, we'll drown them out without a sound. You're at my side on a silent winter evening. There's nowhere that I would rather be. Though the memory has moved on, I imagine it's not gone. I can return through dokha. So I nod off in a hope to be with you, in a vision that I'm not sure is true. You're in my arms on New Year's, your visage is so clear, that your lips seem about to move. Now I've returned to a new kind of silence. One in wake of peaceful memories. In this silence and through, I will remain true: I'll spread this light of love for you. But I can't sit and ferment in this silence. I've justified as much as I could. Though you're deep within my chest, it may be for the best, if I let go. So, I'll let go.
