Another Way

Let my head fall on your chest
Run your fingers through my hair
Don’t tell me it’s okay, don’t tell me not to fear
Just let me feel the warmth of your breath across my ear
And I’ll close my eyes and dream
Of another way

Whisper softly of the sun
And her gentle, warming rays
Did she ask you where I’ve been?
Does she think I’ve gone away?
Kiss my forehead as you laugh,
“Love you’ll both be here to stay”
And I’ll close my eyes and dream
Of another way

But I can’t, we wouldn’t
Lord I’ve tried, still I couldn’t
Leave the path laid out before me
Please let me stray
But if life is made of choices
Blotted out by countless voices
I’ll just close my eyes and dream
Of another way

I ain’t ever wished so hard
To hear him say, “I told you so”
For the sun to cross my cheek
With a shining, summer glow
As he leaves me with dozing kisses
Wrapped in arms that won’t let go
I’ll just close my eyes and dream
Of another way

I’ll just close my eyes and dream
Close my eyes and dream
I’ll just close my eyes and dream
Of another way
