"Catching Windmill" lyrics

"Catching Windmill"

From the kitchen, peace is falling
I watch a swirling snow
The windows fog, I'm inside a blur
War's on the radio
I'm closer to you than you think
Still far enough away
I must believe tomorrow's new
Cause 'These Are The Good Old Days'
Yeah, these are the good old days...
Just catching a windmill

It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart

I have been dreaming for weeks
I walk through the woods alone
Lost in a sea of galaxies
Tracking paw prints in the snow
And I have been dreaming for weeks
Watching the stars in the sky
Lost in a sea of galaxies
Just pinwheels for a child
Never cry wolf in the wild
Catching a windmill...

It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart

(I ride. High. Up into the sky.
So close to heaven now I'm down
Down. Falling back into the clouds.
Scraping the ground. Up around again.)

Everything spins
Everything that spins begins and ends
Everything that ends begins again
In some new way, place, and time
Everything spins
Everything that spins begins and ends
Everything that ends begins again

Galaxies are nothing more than
Windmills spinning as they soar
From the place that they were born
Race away, explore, absorb

It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my head
It's overwhelming my heart
It's over my-

(All this love. All this life. All this time.
Is under blurring starlight)

Round and round and round she goes
Will she stop? Will we grow old?
Through revolutions, twisting grace
A subtle shift from clinging to embrace
