Cat Stevens - Drywood lyrics

rate me

You've got to learnto brighten up your ways

Kick out your dull padded life

There's much to knowand no doors in space

They were only mirrors you imagined in your mind

Now that you've got no place to go

And you stand alone

Know that there's just one place to be

And it's in your souloh

Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you

Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through

Like morning meets the moonmy love will guide the way

It's time to wipe your eyes notand awake

I've come to take you overthere's much for you to do

I've come to take you overthen it's up to you

Be like the lightin the shadows

Throw down your mask and be real

Don't wish to winand don't mind to lose

That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel

Now that you've got no place to look

And you stand alone

Know that's there's just one place to be

And it is your homeoh

Like fish that seek the waterthe truth will come to you

Like leaves upon the soilthey will find ways through

Like flowers seek the sunmy love will guide the way

It's time to wipe your eyes nowand awake.

You say you're really with me but you only follow me around

How much you love me yes

But I don't want the kind of love

I have to sit down and count

You think you're free and lucky but you're stuck behind a prison wall

How well you know yourself

But I see something else within you

That you don't see at all

You may give up your numberdisowning all your wealth

You may sell all the piecesbut you'll

Never never never give up

Yourselfoh no no no.

Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you

Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through

Like morning meets the night's starsmy love will guide the way

It's time to wipe your eyes notand awake

I've come to take you overthere's much for you to do

I've come to take you overthen it's up to you.
