Best Thing
dreaming
is the best thing we do
don’t be lonely
I dream after you
sing
sing the world to death
sing him back to being again
I still hear your voice
I know
the cycles of the moon
the valley where the moons grow
I will know you too
sing
sing the world to death
sing her back to being again
I still hear your voice
I know the mountain of the wolves
the valley where the moons grow
I will know you too
dreaming
is the best thing we ever do
don’t be lonely
I dream after you
