From the recording Ghost Hotel
Pedal steel mourns in this Ballad of longing for freedom from troubles and the past. Rich vocal harmonies shine hopeful.
Lyrics
Neverland
Written by David Whyte, Mary Sullivan and Karen Morand Oct.2018 Ormstown QE
Sometimes I wish I could rise
Miles and miles into the sky
Disappear into the endless blue
That’s what I wish that I could do
Sometimes I wish that I were free
To defy the law of gravity
To soar above the moonlit sea
How I wish that I were free
Neverland
Neverland
I swear if I had wings, Id’ never land
These shoes feel heavy on my feet
Walking on these deadend streets
This place can be so hard and cold
There’s no place for dreams to grow
One day soon, I swear I’ll find
Find a way to start to climb
And I won’t give up until I’m flying
Flying home again
Neverland
Neverland
I swear if I had wings, Id’ never land
And I would never come back here
To broken promises and tears
Where all the lies that I believed
Haunt my restless dreams
Neverland
Neverland
I swear if I had wings, Id’ never land
