lyrics

Doves are floating in the sky
I know why, I know why
Beautiful people with smiling eyes
I know why, I know why
Kids run around so high on life
I know why, I know why
My fingers move like water slides
I know why, I know why

There's a baby who's tucked away somewhere under a tree
His tired mama put him there, she says, "rest now, get some sleep,"
What do baby boys dream about, do you know? Do you remember?
What kind of things do they see
When they have a lazy dream in early November?

They see soft-circles in the sky
Then they see a rosy light
They see power coming from small things
Gigantic power, scary feelings
They're in touch with a fear we forgot
An awe of the All
A call fresh from the fall
