Unfinished Life - Kate Wolf

It’s an unfinished life that I find lies before me

An open-ended dream and I don’t want to wake

I’ve crossed so many rivers in search of crystal fountains

I’ve found the truest paths always lead through mountains

I’ve seen water on the sky and fire burning on the lake

You said to me

«I cannot make you happy like a wounded bird

You must find the strength to fly

Time can paint the treetops with colors of the rainbow

But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try»

It’s a journey with my soul that I am taking

One that only goes form the cradle to the grave

Going 'round in circles like painted dancing horses

Up and down we ride on the wooden courses

And light from a lover’s eyes is all that I can save

You said to me

«I cannot make you happy like a wounded bird

You must find the strength to fly

Time can paint the treetops with colors of the rainbow

But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try»

So I’ll take the day and run out across the open fields

Where the grass grows high and the shadows fall

Where my eyes can see all the colors in the air

So quiet that the wind whistles in my hair

And takes the rising dust and carries it away

You said to me

«I cannot make you happy like a wounded bird

You must find the strength to fly

Time can paint the treetops with colors of the rainbow

But you cannot find the end, no matter how you try»
