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
