Drywood Lyrics - Numbers - Cat Stevens

You've got to learn, to brighten up your ways 

Kick out your dull padded life 

There's much to know, and no doors in space 

They were only mirrors you imagined in your mind 

Now that you've got no place to go 

And you stand alone 

Know that there's just one place to be 

And it's in your soul, oh 

Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you 

Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through 

Like morning meets the moon, my love will guide the way 

It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake 

I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do 

I've come to take you over, then it's up to you

Be like the light, in the shadows 

Throw down your mask and be real 

Don't wish to win, and don't mind to lose 

That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel 

Now that you've got no place to look 

And you stand alone 

Know that's there's just one place to be 

And it is your home, oh 

Like fish that seek the water, the truth will come to you 

Like leaves upon the soil, they will find ways through 

Like flowers seek the sun, my love will guide the way 

It's time to wipe your eyes now, and awake. 

You say you're really with me but you only follow me around 

How much you love me yes, 

But I don't want the kind of love 

I have to sit down and count 

Photos 

You think you're free and lucky but you're stuck behind a prison wall 

How well you know yourself 

But I see something else within you 

That you don't see at all 

You may give up your number, disowning all your wealth 

You may sell all the pieces, but you'll 

Never never never give up 

Yourself, oh no no no. 

Like drywood takes to fire the truth will come to you 

Like streams that seek the ocean they will find ways through 

Like morning meets the night's stars, my love will guide the way 

It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake 

I've come to take you over, there's much for you to do 

I've come to take you over, then it's up to you.
