Steve Martin & Edie Brickell - Heart of the Dreamer lyrics

The first love that I ever knew Was kind and fine and true as the sunrise Arms that held me in the night Tender as a lullaby Into the dreams of night and day My restless angel flew away And I was left alone to face The wounded child that I embrace When true love has to fight Through fires, floods, and the blood of our fathers Some rill rise victorious Some will die a lonesome d**h The hissing of the shadows The serpent in the dark The night cannot swallow A bright and shining star Strong is the heart of the dreamer Bright is the light in his eyes
