lyrics
High Dive
She said she dreams of falling
From cliff tops high
Her mother says it must signify
A lasting love that will satisfy
But I heard I f you dream you fall
If you hit the ground you die
I work alone in these woods
Cutting down the trees
Her mother says she won’t tire of me
Though I can’t be what I long to be
I heard a woman with big ideas
Is a woman who’s hard to please
I’ve been in love twice
This time and the time before
They say love can always come knock once more
If you don’t lock your door
So don’t you lock your door
They talk of loss and anger
Of shame and of pride
You can’t always run you can’t always hide
Nor live alone inside one’s mind
I heard the man who acts with patience
Will see the turning of the tide
Will see the turning of the tide
She said she dreams of falling
Near as every night
Her mother says it must signify
A lasting love that will satisfy
Now I heard if you dream you fall
There’s a chance you just might fly
There’s a chance you just might fly
I’ve been in love twice
This time and the time before
They say love can always come knock once more
If you don’t lock your door
So don’t you lock your door
No don’t you lock your door
She said she dreams of falling
From cliff tops high
Her mother says it must signify
A lasting love that will satisfy
But I heard I f you dream you fall
If you hit the ground you die
I work alone in these woods
Cutting down the trees
Her mother says she won’t tire of me
Though I can’t be what I long to be
I heard a woman with big ideas
Is a woman who’s hard to please
I’ve been in love twice
This time and the time before
They say love can always come knock once more
If you don’t lock your door
So don’t you lock your door
They talk of loss and anger
Of shame and of pride
You can’t always run you can’t always hide
Nor live alone inside one’s mind
I heard the man who acts with patience
Will see the turning of the tide
Will see the turning of the tide
She said she dreams of falling
Near as every night
Her mother says it must signify
A lasting love that will satisfy
Now I heard if you dream you fall
There’s a chance you just might fly
There’s a chance you just might fly
I’ve been in love twice
This time and the time before
They say love can always come knock once more
If you don’t lock your door
So don’t you lock your door
No don’t you lock your door
