Barefooted Strangers Lyrics by Dana Lyons

Ride the Lawn

0

Sometimes it's very, very
Very hard to walk
When every step seems wrong
When I'm searching in the dark
For some direction
And sometimes it's very, very
Very hard to talk
When every word falls wrong
And I can't tell the truth
From self-deception

And sometimes it seems
The shadows of an angry sky
Are coming to track me down
I'm running, running hard
Searching for cover
And sometimes there's a kaleidoscope
Of desperate clouds
As I'm lying upon the ground
I'm reaching in the dark
I'm reaching for my lover

But I sing anyway
Late at night, in my room
I sing and I dream
Of what life could be
In a wide open land
Where the tall grass grows free
Where barefooted strangers
Will dance with me

Sometimes it takes
An animal to understand
When I'm weeping there on the floor
You're nuzzling my face
You lick away the tears
And sometimes it takes a tiny flower
To lift my eyes
And see the magic all around
Green mosaics on the ground
As life continues

And sometimes when I look
Deep into your beautiful eyes
I think that I can see your soul
There's an openness, an innocence
That's still within me
And the moments when you place
Your hand upon my heart
And the hardness melts away
A child who is curious still is free

But I sing anyway
Late at night, in my room
I sing and I dream
Of what life could be
Under dark starry skies
Where the sand meets the sea
Where barefooted strangers
Will dance with me

Sometimes I hear the crying
Of a lonely bird
In the middle of the night
And think that's it's my buddy
Who has left me
And sometimes I hear you laughing
And I feel alright
And I'm looking for you all around
And I think that you are coming
Back to get me

So, I sing anyway
Late at night, in my room
I sing and I dream
Of what life could be
In a green mossy land
Where the tall trees grow free
Where barefooted strangers
Will dance with me
