Drywood Lyrics by Cat Stevens

Drywood Lyrics

    You've got to learn, to brighten up your ways
    Kick out your dull padded life
    There's much to know, and no doors in space
    They were only mirrors you imagined in your mind
    Now that you've got no place to go
    And you stand alone
    Know that there's just one place to be
    And it's in your soul, oh
    Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you
    Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through
    Like morning meets the moon, my love will guide the way
    It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake
    I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do
    I've come to take you over, then it's up to you

    Be like the light, in the shadows
    Throw down your mask and be real
    Don't wish to win, and don't mind to lose
    That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel
    Now that you've got no place to look
    And you stand alone
    Know that's there's just one place to be
    And it is your home, oh
    Like fish that seek the water, the truth will come to you
    Like leaves upon the soil, they will find ways through
    Like flowers seek the sun, my love will guide the way
    It's time to wipe your eyes now, and awake.

    You say you're really with me but you only follow me around
    How much you love me yes,
    But i don't want the kind of love
    I have to sit down and count

    You think you're free and lucky but you're stuck behind a prison wall
    How well you know yourself
    But i see something else within you
    That you don't see at all
    You may give up your number, disowning all your wealth
    You may sell all the pieces, but you'll
    Never never never give up
    Yourself, oh no no no.

    Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you
    Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through
    Like morning meets the night's stars, my love will guide the way
    It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake
    I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do
    I've come to take you over, then it's up to you.
