Changes
[Verse 1]
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
Wander in my world
And dream about the pictures I play
Of changes

[Verse 2]
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
Then they have to die
And drop within the circle grand parade
Of changes

[Verse 3]
Scenes of my young years are warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
Till one day I return
And find they were the victims of the vines
Of changes

[Verse 4]
The world is spinning madly adrift in the dark
It swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze
With changes
[Verse 5]
Moments of magic will glow through the night
And fears of the forest are gone
When the morning breaks
They're swept away like golden drops of dawn
By changes

[Verse 6]
Oceans will part to a strange melody
As fires they will sometimes burn cold
Like water in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings
Of changes

[Verse 7]
Our tears will be trembling when we are somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore
Of changes

[Verse 1]
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
Wander in my world
And dream about the pictures I play
Of changes
