Ami Lyrics

I had a dream last night
And now I wanna be a streetlight
I wanna be a streetlight
To guide your path each night
Can ya' hear the wind chimes?
You'll be home in no time

I know you don't believe
That you'll heal in time
But all I wanna see
Is you standing head high

Your mind
Is a loose end I can't tie
Never mind
You know I'll always try

I saw you gently weep
And now I wanna be a lion
I wanna be a lion
Curled up at your feet
Something to rely on
I'll be something to rely on

For now you've got to keep on playing even though
Nobody comes to the show

Someday
This will all disappear
So share
Your song while you're here

And I'll be in the sunlight, ever near

Oh, sunlight, ever near
