(Mike on lead)
The mist of the morning in this strange town,
Lifted slowly with the sun,
Refracted the rays in a thousand ways,
A new day just begun.
And it crowded against my window sill,
Still sweet with the morning dew.
If only you knew,
How much I think of you.
Into the van and down the road,
Along the highway fast.
With this band I ride through the countryside,
The seasons slidin' past.
(Mike, with others singing "ahhhh")
I spy a humble homestead there,
With a garden and a river view.
(Mike with Jian)
If only you knew,
How much I think of you.
(Mike)
By a stream of running water,
I heard you laugh.
I closed my eyes for an hour and a half,
(Mike with Jian)
And tried to make you appear.
I swear in the beauty of the setting sun,
(Mike)
You were here.
(Mike)
An old troubador on the street that night,
(Mike with himself)
Plays for our passin' change.
(Mike)
On a fiddle in g, a melody,
Mysterious and strange.
(Mike, with others singing "ahhhh")
He learned on a green distant mountain top,
A wedding waltz,
So sweet and true.
(Mike with Jian)
If only you knew,
How much I think of you.
(All)
If only you knew,
(Mike)
How much I think of you.
(guitar outro)
(Mike speaking)
Dave, are you below the safe low limit on that last one?
(Jian speaking)
That was great for me.
