  • There is a lake between sun and moon
    Not too many know about
    In the silence between whisper and shout
    The space between wonder and doubt

    This is a fine place
    Shining face to face
    Those bonfire lights in the mirror of sky
    The space between wonder and why

    Ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes
    Why the sun why the sun

    There is a fine line between love and illusion
    A fine place to penetrate
    The gap between actor and act
    The lens between wishes and fact

    This is a fine place
    To hesitate
    Those bonfire lights in the lake of sky
    The time between wonder and why

    Some need to pray to the sun at high noon
    Some need to howl at the midwinter moon
    Reborn and baptized in a moment of grace
    We just need a break
    From the headlong race

    Ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes
    Why the sun why the sun

    This is a fine place, shining face to face
    These bonfire lights in the mirrored sky
    The space between wonder and why Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
