Out upon the open fields The rain is pouring down We're pulling up the sheets again Against the passing tides of love Every doubt that holds you here Will find their own way out I will build a shelter if you call Just take my hand and walk Over mountains high and wide Bridging rivers deep inside With a will to guide you on Your heart will need no one Those days are gone Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Lost inside of dreams that guide you on Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone Out upon the ocean waves subside From the weakness of the tide That punishes in kind, when the heavens open wide Every shore the moon shines on Every word her siren's sung, "believe in no one" Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Lost inside of dreams that guide you on Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone
