Cat Stevens Drywood Lyrics

Drywood Lyrics

You`ve got to learn, to brighten up your ways 
Kick out your dull padded life 
There`s much to know, and no doors in space 
They were only mirrors you imagined in your mind 
Now that you`ve got no place to go 
And you stand alone 
Know that there`s just one place to be 
And it`s in your soul, oh 
Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you 
Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through 
Like morning meets the moon, my love will guide the way 
It`s time to wipe your eyes not, and awake 
I`ve come to take you over, there`s much for you to do 
I`ve come to take you over, then it`s up to you 
  
Be like the light, in the shadows 
Throw down your mask and be real 
Don`t wish to win, and don`t mind to lose 
That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel 
Now that you`ve got no place to look 
And you stand alone 
Know that`s there`s just one place to be 
And it is your home, oh 
Like fish that seek the water, the truth will come to you 
Like leaves upon the soil, they will find ways through 
Like flowers seek the sun, my love will guide the way 
It`s time to wipe your eyes now, and awake. 
  
You say you`re really with me but you only follow me around 
How much you love me yes, 
But I don`t want the kind of love 
I have to sit down and count 
  
You think you`re free and lucky but you`re stuck behind a prison wall 
How well you know yourself 
But I see something else within you 
That you don`t see at all 
You may give up your number, disowning all your wealth 
You may sell all the pieces, but you`ll 
Never never never give up 
Yourself, oh no no no. 
  
Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you 
Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through 
Like morning meets the night`s stars, my love will guide the way 
It`s time to wipe your eyes not, and awake 
I`ve come to take you over, there`s much for you to do 
I`ve come to take you over, then it`s up to you.
