Down by the bayou,
Down by the bayou, I saw
Good things inside you

Good things inside you, they call
Into my memories of old,
Tell me what you know!

I saw a man there,
I saw a man and sat down
I shook his hand there

I shook his hand, he laughed loud
And put a question to my heart


A question, oh, so sharp

Chorus:

He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,
Close your eyes all we got is this!
Angels speak of a thing called bliss

Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah!
So what to say love
So what to say when that turned

I was overwhelmed and
I stood and let my house burn
Cause I saw horses in the sky,

Let me take that ride!

I walked on there,

I walked on with thoughts deep
I never knew that love could dig way down and bury me
I turn and face I do not run

Another chapter has begun, forever one!

Chorus:

He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,
Close your eyes all we got is this!
'Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,

Close your eyes all we got is this!
Angels speak of a thing called bliss
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah!

So what to say love
So what to say when that turned
I was overwhelmed and

I stood and let my house burn
Cause I saw horses in the sky,
Let me take that ride!


If I'm straying far away, I get down and start to pray
Cause I know, I know

Tthat my song will reach those heavens
I stand up I'm not forgetting
I know, I know, I know!


Chorus:
He said, 'hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,

Close your eyes all we got is this!
'Hey, wish man, tell me what's your wish,
Close your eyes all we got is this!

Angels speak of a thing called bliss
Close your eyes all we got is this, yeah!
So what to say love

So what to say when that turned
I was overwhelmed and
I stood and let my house burn

Cause I saw horses in the sky,
Let me take that ride!
