wow. hadn't even *thought* of that!

here's the lyrics as i hear them, so you can decide:

	in my book of dreams (x3)

	i took your urgent whisper
	stole the arc of a white wing
	rolled like foam on the river of pity
	turned its tide to strength
	healed the wound that ripped in living

	in my book of dreams (x3)

	this spine is bound to last a life
	tought enough to take the pounding
	pages made of days of open hand

	in my book of dreams (x3)

	cover every page in silver
	underline it magic marker
	take the name of evey prisioner
	????? there my word of honor

	i took you urgent whisper
	stole the arc of a white wing
	rolled like foam in the river of pity
	turned it tide to strength
	healed the hole that ripped in living

	in my book of dreams (ad infinitum)

well, i don't think it has much to do with the the book,
but hey, who knows? has anyone actually read reich's book?
