Hearts and Minds
Hey, July moon
climbing on up your pillar of cloud
come again soon
the longest and lightest of days are
endowed
with the spirit that I crave
blowing in with the power to save
opening up our hearts and our minds
to the love that we name, and there
are…
no roads, no tracks, no sea
between hearts and minds
no border towns
in our journey of hearts and minds
and if the wheels turn slow, my friend
‘til we have some time again
nothing can come between our hearts
and minds
where are the days,
where are the nights we could stare
without sight?
the blues and the greys
the colours of time and the shadows of
light?
oh I think that I’m alive
I can’t believe that we both survived
opening up our hearts and our minds
to the days that we have, and there
are…
