I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands In the instant that you love someone In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun You're all I've ever needed Baby you're the one There are caravans we follow Drunken nights in dark hotels When chances breathe between the silence Where sex and love no longer gel, oh For each man in his time is Cain Until he walks along the beach And sees his future in the water A long lost heart within his reach And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun You're all I've ever needed Oh, baby you're the one And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun Oh, you're all I've ever needed Oh, baby you're the one All I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun Oh, you're all I've ever needed Oh, baby you're the one
