Lyrics Tom Cochrane

Tom Cochrane

Wildest Dreams

You talk as if in riddles

You talk as if in rhymes

Down in the lion's lair

I stroke yourself to feel so fine

And what are you afraid of

Afraid to get so touched

Like when you begin to feel, is that way way too much

You've lost your sense of purpose

And you can't stand alone

There's no more circus here

And nothing's carved in stone

I see you down in the desert

And on the lonely beach

I hold you in these places

Where no one else can reach you

In your wildest dreams,

We can talk until we say something

It don't mean a thing

I will be there when you come back down, oh yeah

Oh yeah, yeah.

I hold you in the desert

And on the lonely beach

I hold you in these places

Where no one else can reach you

The words cannot reveal this

And nothing's carved in stone

So baby don't hide around it,

If it's something you can own

I want you when you're bad,

And when you think you're good

I want you when you won't

And when you think you should

I want you when you're angry

And when you come back down

I hold you above the water,

When you think that you might drown

Go A-wonder...

I look back in

And you'll be smiling once again

I turn around

Just as the sun comes shining in on you

We have not lost, but just begun

For now and ever, we've just begun...
