What would you do if you turned around And saw me beside you Not in a dream but in a song? Would you float like a phantom Or would you sing along? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you What would you do If you saw me driving by in a car The quickest you've ever seen me spin? Would you smile and wave Or would you bow and get in? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you But then the lightning finds us Burns away our kindness We can't find a place to hide Come the rainy season Surrender to our treasons Can we even find our tears? Don't know where I'm going Don't know where it's flowing But I know it's finding you
