The Innocence Mission
I Would Be There
Let the streets connect
Let red lights give way
See, if you would call me
I would leave right away
And if all the trains arrived
I would be there first
The clouds that race me might
Be trailing in colors over the lawns
And out of this song
And so high over the world, then
So high over the street they're gone
From my eyes
Now that everything's different
I wave to you, do you think
You will recognize?

And now, I won't be turned around
By the long detour, fear, or the fear of fear
Or the revolving door
And if all the trains arrived
I would be there first
The clouds that race me might
Be trailing in colors over the lawns
And out of this song
And so high over the world, then
So high over the street they're gone
From my eyes
Now that everything's different
I wave to you, do you think
You will recognize?
