Eric Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait
A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now
Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me, please trust
I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon
A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom
May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now
To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait
A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom
May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now
