Lyrics
Just yesterday, as I walked on the street,
The city sounds washed over me.
But I thought I heard you call my name
I turned around and you were there again.
Was it desire, a shadow’s fall,
A twist of light, a wish that’s all?
Life is like a stream,
So fast we’re caught between
Reality and a dream.
I saw your face and your smile was there.
Not a word was said, but you spoke so clear
Of a time of joy and a time of pain
All swept away by the driving rain.
[Bridge]
It happened as fast, you just turned and were gone
Like a lightening flash in the confusion of a storm.
Then the city sounds pushed up like a wind,
But above it all I heard your voice sing.
It’s all desire. It’s a shadow’s fall.
A twisting of the light. A wish for us all.
Life is a stream,
So fast we’re caught between
Reality and a dream …
Reality and a dream …
Reality and a dream …
