Peter, Paul & Mary - Wild Places Lyrics
Silence slips between us, solitude completeThe stillness clear and close as heavens doorThe earth beats out its rhythm, in slow and perfect timeCounterpoint and harmonies, lifes melodies entwineAnd we fight the battle here where theres time to fall in stepThe secrets are still known here, but the secrets never keptChorus:Wild places, somewhere we can see the fathers handWild places, somewhere we can be alone with youWe need a promised land.Maybe well be wounded in the healing,Its to be broken to be sureCan we embrace this strange awakening together?Is wisdom carved into creation?The old relationships definedAs forbidding as her truth may beWell learn her ways with timeWell learn to take it as it comesWe cant change faster than we canAlready were a long way from the children we began(chorus)Wood smoke rising, faces alive in the firelightForsaking the road and making it home to be there tonightThe young making good what they found in the woodWhat they learned of a landPutting dreams back togetherTalking it through, reaching out for the handTheres a moment caught suspendedCommunion born between our eyesOur vision clears its golden flight ascendingAnd we have seen what we have come forAnd we will some day see againBut we have climbed into the mountainsSo we must climb back down til thenBut well take it as it is crazy with love and disbeliefAnd the magic of your morningThe wilderness, the peace(chorus)...somewhere we can touch the fathers hand....We need a promised land.
