about

There is a dreamy quality to this tune. As good as the previous number was, this is even stronger. The classical strings are a great touch, and the whole thing just sets a great tone and mood.

lyrics

Floats Away
By Forrest Hill

Time is turning in a capsule
Ebbs and flows like the visions in her head
Her mind is telling her there’s more to the picture
But she cannot find a way in

All the world seems like a dessert
Friends and family are waiting for her there
The guiding force, they’re the rhyme and the reason
But they do not touch her anywhere

Lays down to sleep and she floats away
Cries in his dreams and she floats away
Alone she walks into the sea then disappears
And she floats away, she floats away

She’s ascended to the mountain top
Her eyes are open and forever she is lost
Her past calls to her from the valley down below
But the bridge is broken, and she cannot cross

All these worries seem so small
Just momentary shadows moving slowly through the fog
She shakes his head and can see no reason why
We take for granted our own lives

Lays down to sleep and she floats away
Cries in his dreams and she floats away
Alone she walks into the sea then disappears
And she floats away, she floats away

Dust clouds are carried on the wind
And ashes from her soul are carries away with them
From the sea to the plains to the cold fertile ground
Nature plants a seed to begin again

Lays down to sleep and she floats away
Cries in his dreams and she floats away
Alone she walks into the sea then disappears
And she floats away, she floats away
