Well I’ve been at the top of a cliff and seen ships go
sailing away
And I’ve watched the sea turn green and bright bluefish
swim in the shade
I’ve imagined skies in reverse and note stormy
mountains can light
And I was there by the shore on the night when the
stars all married the tide
When the time arrives
That we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side
Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And now we turn into the world as if dreams were an
ocean to wade
Under all the kites they glide like a friendship set on
a wave
When the time arrives
That we must form a line
Would you stand and take my side
Would you take my side
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
And maybe I'm afraid of fools the children that are
saved
Maybe I'm not certain when they draw the final curtain
The woman in the water and the baby in the barn
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
When the evening takes all of the color out of my day
And the morning is as far as it could ever be away
