From the recording Is Fortune a Wheel
Lyrics
Steam
If you could hear me
I’d know just what to say
A ghost of spring still walks these passageways
If you could see me, If you could see
you’d see it runs so deep
Like a root that clings while storms attack the tree
If you could feel me
You’d feel the running blood, the constant beat
Of a heart just like a train that runs on steam
And I call you back
And I call you back
And I call you back
If this was easy
I guess it wouldn’t count
Though words have been my thing they fail me now
If you could see me,
If you could see you’d see how hard I try
But years have passed, you never said goodbye
If you could feel me
You’d feel the rushing pulse, the burning heat
Of a love that boiled up and turned to steam
