Land's End / Asleep on the Wind - Jimmy Webb

Love is a glass of wine

It’s balanced on a siderail of a ship

Across the sea at midnight come

It may not last til' daylight comes

And the trip is long

And the waves are strong

But then again, it might be up there forever

I’ve heard of birds that never touch the land

But sleep on the wind

And if untouched by someone’s careless hand

Asleep on the wind

Our lives might last until the journey ends

Alive

Alive

And our lives they’re just bubbles of time

They’re rainbow-colored and

They’re shining in the sun

They drift above the treetops now

In danger if the breeze drops somehow

And darling, that’s all it would take

Yet we threaten not to break

And you know, we could be up here forever

I’ve heard of birds that never touch the land

But sleep on the wind

And if untouched by someone’s careless hand

Asleep on the wind

Our lives might last until the love begins

So stay alive

But let me try as hard as you do

To stay alive

Please let me be as much alive as you

I’ll try

Alive

Alive

(Alive)
