Day comes slowly, absorbing the darknesses softly
Night leaves gently, her beauty is spent, and she rises
I step into the lightness, I hear you
You're calling me out of my sadness
Your flowering wonders are calling me home
Darkness lingers, but always surrenders to loving
Darkest midnight is swallowed in oceans of laughter
I follow into lightness, I hear you
You're calling me out of my sadness
Your flowering wonders are calling me home
Dancing along a dawn that leads to you
Singing a song that blossoms in a fugue as morning settles on
Dreaming into a sky of brilliant blue
Noticing clouds are whispering that you will dance with me very soon
Already been as high as Kathmandu
Willing to go as far as Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away, I may catch up with you today
Maybe today will finally be the day
Flying along a dawn that leads to you
Singing a song that makes itself anew, a music magic wand
Reaching into a sky of brilliant blue
Eagles are calling out to say that you will dance with me very soon
Already been as high as Kathmandu
Willing to go as far a Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away, I may catch up with you today
Maybe today we'll make our getaway!

[Piano solo]
Already been as high as Kathmandu
Willing to go as far a Timbuktu
Nowhere's too far away, I may catch up with you today
Maybe today we'll make our getaway!
Like light from the stars made ten thousand years ago
Comes love, like a gift of sight
Growing stronger every moment on the way home
