You're sweeping in my mind
Dancing a thousand lights
Telling me lies in secret whispers
but letting me know to dream
to hope
to kiss

Sweeping my mind with a palmetto leaf
scratching at the twistings in my soul
Giving me a glimpse at a life I'll lead
Holding me tight enough
enough not to breathe

I play your games
trying to hold on
to the wind that sweeps by
as you seem to slip by.

A thousand rains can fall
and you pick it up like diamonds
A thousand tears can fall
and you pick it up like glass

You get a handle on everything
catch the handle of a teacup
Holding precious life
Holding life precious
Wrapped around my little finger
Holding on for dear life.
