Dreams of Air

I lose my way

Barely notice it is dark

But I've got some time to kill

Echos of my childhood

Play with shadows in the park

Remind me of when time stood still

I think of how we clamber side by side

To walk beneath the leafy dome

My words clung to you

Barnacles in the tide

How I longed to be grown

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air

Pictures of my past hang about the air

Drift into my ear

I watch the hillside turn a lighter shade of blue

I know the day is near

And though my memory has faded some

I still hear which way the wind blew then

How it swept through the trees

Taking feathers to the seas

And I felt my life begin

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air

Last night as I lay in bed

I felt the hair turning white on my head

There I was, someone twice my age

Guessing words between the lines on the page

Last night as I lay in bed

I felt turning white on my head

How did it feel to be twice my age?

It felt exactly the same

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air

Dreams, dreams, dreams of lead

Tie me to my deep seabed

But when I rise and take them there

They are but dreams, dreams of air
