When you close your eyes

Imagining you're far away from home

Do you get that feeling

Like longing for someone you've never known

I went out on an April morning

All alone, for my heart was high,

I was a child of the shining meadow,

I was a sister of the sky.

There in the windy flood of morning

Longing lifted its weight from me,

Lost as a sob in the midst of cheering,

Swept as a sea-bird out to sea.

When you close your eyes

Imagining you're far away from home

Do you get that feeling

Like longing for someone you've never known

It's hard to explain to anyone

There's a total eclipse of morning sun and you're all alone on the moon

Longing for someone you've never known
