Priceless (For Eleanor)

I remember when I’d run to you

Through fields of white flowers

Your embrace was my air

How I needed you there

All of the world and all of its powers

Couldn’t keep your love from me

‘Cause I need you like the dragonfly’s wings need the wind

Like the orphan needs home once again

Like heaven needs more to come in

I need you here like you’ve always been

Then I waved goodbye to you

From fields of white flowers

You were so proud of me

I was too proud to see

That all of the world and all of it’s powers

Couldn’t keep your love from me…

I need you like the dragonfly’s wings need the wind

Like the orphan needs home once again

Like heaven needs more to come in

I need you here like you’ve always been

Taking for granted all of her smiles that got away

Now I’m looking up at you

From fields of white flowers

You were so proud of me

I’m so proud of you

All of the world and all of its powers

Couldn’t keep your love from me
