1. I wish I could believe in something bigger More than these trees, these winds, these oceans I wish I could believe what they tell me I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city Where he doesnt have to be himself R1: He used to play an untuned guitar While he sang about me and he sung about the stars I used to dream about another time And now its all clear that's the only time I wish would come back 2. I wish I could hold on a little longer Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger I wish I could believe what they taught me I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph And the picture that appeared, well it took me back To the time when she was around R2: She used to play that old mandolin The moon and the sea invited her in I wish that I had told her by then But she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back *: A new day awaits me I could be gone today A new day awaits me We could be here to stay R3: We used to wait for our heavy storms To take us away while something new would form I wish that I could have known by then We all know now that we're never getting back to those times
