Can you see the moonlit skies
Dancing on the horizon?
Where eagles used to fly so long ago
And I remember you and I
We were reaching out for something
I tried to be your wings and fly away
And you stand on your own
Holding your hands to the sky
And all you have known
Drowning before your eyes
Carry me tonight
Take me to the water’s edge
Take me baby, now
Burning deep inside
The calm before the storm
And when the feeling dies
In the eyes that burned so bright
The calm before the storm is in your eyes
Now the years have been and gone
I can still remember
We carved our names on the stone when we were young
And I stand on my own
Keeping my eyes on the sun
Selling my soul
Wondering what had begun
Oh, baby
Carry me tonight
Take me to the water’s edge
Take me baby, now
Burning deep inside
The calm before the storm
And when the feeling dies
In the eyes that burned so bright
The calm before the storm is over now
The calm before the storm is over now
Carry me tonight
Take me to the water’s edge
Take me baby, now
Burning deep inside
The calm before the storm
Carry me tonight
Take me to the water’s edge
Take me baby, now
Burning deep inside
The calm before the storm
And I’ll dream the dream like you asked me to
As I walk beside you now
The calm before the storm is over now
The calm before the storm is over now
