Lyrics

I?m rolling in the sunshine, drifting down the empty line
Waterfalls, the ragged rocks, fighting torrents try their luck and dive
Then I reach my destination, drifting in my mind
Wander down the narrow streets, drenched and out of time
Romanesque the empty space, cool and dark the columns raise spirits so high
And the children cry to a sermon of love
------------------------------------------------
Fighting through the pouring rain, driving out of town a baby sighs
Lost on paths in wooded hills, dreaming on there?s time to kill now
Then we find the right location, there?s a castle in the sky
Torches light the vaulted rooms, beckoning the night
Hosted by our smiling friends, thankful at the journey?s end
Welcome and wild
------------------------------------------------
All those eyes, sparkling in the torchlight, dancing in the moonlight hours
Ladies with no fear, forcing back the years, tender in the night
-------------------------------------------------
Driving back, a pastel dawn soothes and bathes a couple drawn laughing
A casual touch illuminates, it?s warmth and love that radiates smiling
So we reach the last ovation and we know our paths must part
The wonders of the wedding day leave longing in my heart
Oh torrents, churches, sermons, smiles
Castles, torches, flashing eyes
Here is your song
----------------------------------------------

nice and heartfelt song. pretty instrumentation
