Lyrics
Every moment of every day
passes by and falls away
like the words I meant to say
yet time moves on
and every echo of every sound
must decay and settle down
like dust upon the ground
is this our love
tonight, i just can't sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I hold you silently,
drifting deep
under cinnamon
under cinnamon clouds
there's a time for everyone
evey soul beneath the sun
you and I have just begun
to live our lives
and I know that we can't stay
in the place that we call today
tomorrow is all we say
yet we know love
tonight I just can't sleep
I pray the lord your soul to keep
I hold you silently, drifting deep
under cinnamon
under cinnamon clouds
we are waves on an endless sea
constant motion is all we need
you and I we were meant to be
so where's our love?
what's lost is left behind
what's cruel isn't always kind
I've been hopeless
and I've been blind
but I love you
tonight I just can't sleep
I pray the lord your soul to keep
I hold you silently, drifting deep
under cinnamon
under cinnamon clouds
under cinnamon
under cinnamon clouds
under cinnamon
under cinnamon clouds
