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

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

[Verse 3]
Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
'Til one day I returned
And found they were the victims of thе vines
Of changes

[Verse 4]
The world's spinning madly, it drifts in thе dark
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 in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
Changes

[Verse 6]
Passions will part to a strange melody
As fires will sometimes burn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver string of souls
Of changes

[Verse 7]
Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
And I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shores
Of changes

[Verse 1]
So sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
And dream about the pictures that I play
Of changes
