Lyrics Reverie - Son Volt

Reverie

When you fade into a melody
Your mind is lost in reverie
You can feel the earth and touch the sky
Don’t mind the shade when there’s inner light
What you do is who you are
Don’t stop dreaming on a distant star
The fortune wheel will roll your way
Where you stand is where you’ll have your say
Raise the bar a little higher
See the shadow flames from the fire
The system grinds dreams to dirt
But the truth walks naked upon the earth
We won’t know where we stand till December
We won’t know where we stand till December
No moment now, however small
The whirl of time teaches all
Notes on high above the low hum
Words and plans forward racing on
Where the wind pumps the water
To the gardens of the mind
Teach the young as keepers of the faith
To love the smell of the written page
Raise the glass a little higher
See the shadow flames from the fire
The system grinds dreams to dirt
But the truth walks naked upon the earth
We won’t know where we stand till December
We won’t know where we stand till December
We won’t know where we stand till December
You’re mind is lost in reverie
You’re mind is lost in reverie
