(she)
Riding
high on a wave
The golden
sun streaming through my golden hair
I'm a mermaid
on the prow
Of a golden
ship sailing for a battleground
Free and
proud, without a sound
I can give
you all my sorrow
I can promise
you tomorrow
But my
only tears are stolen from the sea
And I cannot
promise moments of eternity
for though
the sunlight is my crown
I cannot
dance upon the ground
(he)
Riding
high through the clouds
The laughing
wind calling me to circle round
I'm a rider
of the sky
My winged
steed dances with the starry night
Away we
fly, a streak of light
I can take
you where the moon sleeps
I can cross
the earth in one leap
But the
moon rests where the sun has never gone
And I cannot
travel farther than the dawn
For though
the stars mark my domain
Beyond
the day I must remain
(both)
Riding
high on a dream
The twilight
sky plays with what I seem to see
For a moment,
could it be
The eyes
of one who lives what is denied to me
Wordlessly
they share my grief
I must
break away and find them
I must
know the face behind them
So tomorrow I will travel to the shore
For one
moment there to open heaven's door
Where night
and day meet sea and sand
Between
the worlds, I'll take your hand
