I AM REAL                                                                              Back to Lyrics
(J. ERICKSON
)  


Verse 1

When you feel I am real once again

Like snow over the horizon

Like a cloud over the sea

And I don’t understand what you see

I don’t understand it

 

Chorus

Swept Away

Spent like money so far away

Better minds, they stay

Better minds, they stay

Strong and true

Where you go I go with you

And now we have today

Now we have today

 

Verse 2

When you feel I am real once again

Like iron rolling over the Rhineland

Like a feeling falling away

Like a story without an end

And I don’t understand it, my friend

I don’t understand it

 

Chorus

Breakdown Instrumental (Em)

 

Verse 3

When you feel I am real once again

When a thrust of silver in the sky

Gathers silent speed

And the president’s there

Like a sad old showman

And the clock clips metal

Terminal midnight crying

White light spinning

Like a cloud over the sea

And he’s all that he’s trying to be

The breathing man inside me

 

Chorus
