If I start believing, they go away.
Before they leave they have this to say.
Before the dreams leave, this is what they say. They say now...
And steam hangs low on the body, low on the body, low on the body, low on the body.

Hold both hands against the door dig your feet into the floor.
Where to go and what to do.
Who to dog who to ride who to hold.
Forever by your side.
