Out In The Open

  • Well, I'm walking on the ocean
    Praying in the sand
    Pledging my devotion
    Won't you take my hand?
    Well, I know the past is hazy
    And the future scares you too
    But I feel my heart is breaking
    In the present without you

    Out in the open
    The night runs cold
    But with the dawn
    Our world's aglow
    In the light of the sun
    The waters run
    Into the valley below

    Well, I'm split right down the middle
    One foot out the door
    I'll suspend my disbelief now
    Hope you know my soul is pure
    Well, my feet are in the air
    And my head is on the ground
    And I wonder if I reach out
    Would you even make a sound?

    Out in the open
    The night runs cold
    But with the dawn
    Our world's aglow
    In the light of the sun
    The waters run
    Into the valley below

    I'm realizing what's at stake now
    Climbing up the tree
    My hands are in the dirt but
    My heart's still out at sea
    I can't pretend that I'm not scared
    But I'll live while I'm still free
    And I wonder if I saw ya
    Would you even know it's me?

    Out in the open
    The night runs cold
    But with the dawn
    Our world's aglow
    In the light of the sun
    The waters run

    Out in the open
    The night runs cold
    But with the dawn
    Our world's aglow
    In the light of the sun
    The waters run

    Out in the open
    The night runs cold
    But with the dawn
    Our world's aglow
    In the light of the sun
    The waters run
    Into the valley below
    Into the valley below Writer/s: Jim James
