1. You might wake up some
morning
A A7 D
to the sound
of something moving past your window in the wind.
Em A
And if you're quick enough to
rise,
Em
A D
you'll catch the fleeting
glimpse of someone's fading shadow.

2. Out on the new horizon,
A A7 D
you may see the floating
motion of a distant pair of wings.
Em A
And if the sleep has left your
ears,
Em
A D
you might hear footsteps
running through an open meadow .
Em
- A D
Don't be concerned, it will
not harm you,
Em A D
it's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of.
Em - A D
Across my dreams, with nets
of wonder,
Em A D
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.

3. You might have heard my footsteps
A A7 D
echo softly in the distance
through the canyons of your mind.
Em A
I might have even called your
name,
Em A D
as I ran searching after
something to believe in.

4. You might have seen me running
A A7 D
through the long abandoned
ruins of the dreams you left behind.
Em A
If you remember something
there
Em A D
that glided past you followed
close by heavy breathing.

Don't be concerned, it will
not harm you,
Em
A D
it's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of.

Across my dreams, with nets
