Another Country by Cassandra Wilson Lyrics

I don't know where we're going
Have no idea how this will end
From the beginning, I've been swimming
In the current of your skin
The autumn rains turned into thunderstorms
The waters rose, I was drowning in your arms

But when I woke up in the morning
I was breathing, I was breathing
Oh, I was alive
I saw another country in your eyes

Frozen in silent moments
I watched your timeless spirit fly
Soaring above the ceiling
Into the midnight winter sky
Then you were gone, I searched a million years
All through the night, love had disappeared

But when I woke up in the morning
You were breathing, you were breathing
There right by my side
I found another country in your eyes
The midday sun is beating drums
Quarter time on our parade
We drove past city limits
Engines blazing all the way
A warm embrace became consuming fire
Our bodies burned, melted with desire

And when we wakened in the morning
We were breathing, we were breathing
We'll never die
I've seen so many countries in your eyes
