lyrics

dreams awaken and are washed out to the sea
a body reckons to the west and to the east
a little bit lonely? i can hear your moccasins
footsteps slowly through the snow and through the wind

she is a beauty, dark eyed beauty of the night
she's a cutey, she's so wrong when she's so right
alabaster, with frozen bitter smiles
faster, faster....miles, miles, miles, and miles

bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song she knows
bye bye is the only song she knows
and she knows it oh so well

hear her a'comin;, bright as a sunny day
she come a runnin', and she'll take your breath away
once in a moment i can feel her falling down
once in a stone age, her feet will touch the ground

i'll take it to the end, to the sea
i'll make it for the war and for the peace
sing a believer, sing it loud and sing it hard
i'm a believer...after all it's after dark
