In these dreams I'm shaping
See you like heaven waiting
And if I don't know by now
I may never go

My heartís no longer broken
While all these windows open
And listen for the sound
As the river runs through here

We'll stand our ground
Till the mysteries are sung to me out loud
Through all these centuries I know
We're gonna dance ëtill the bayou waters
Open up the sunlight shining down
On my Cajun Rose

Well I've been looking for her
All up and down the quarter
You can't mistake her voice
Ringing in the streets

There's been thistles and nettles
Along this trail of petals
And if I don't know by now
(They'll/we'll?) look into the dark and stand our ground
Until the mysteries are sung to me out loud

In these dreams I'm shaping
See you like heaven waiting
And if I don't know by now
I may never go

My heart's no longer broken
While all these windows open
And listen for the sound
As the river runs through here

We'll stand our ground
Until the mysteries are sung to me out loud
Through all these centuries I know
We're gonna dance ëtill the bayou waters
Open up the sunlight shining down
On my Cajun Rose
