Sit by my side
Come as close as the air
Share in the memory of gray
And wonder in my words
And dream about the pictures that I play
Of changes
Green leaves of summer
Turn to red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle of time parade
Of changes
Scenes of my young years
Were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
One day I returned
And found that they were victims of the vines
Of changes
The world′s spinning map
It drifts in the dark
Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze
With changes
Moments of magic
Will glow in the night
Fears of the forest are all gone
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
Of changes
Passions will part
To a strange melody
As fires will sometimes burn cold
Like petals in the wind
We′re puppets to the silver strings of souls
Of changes
Your tears will be trembling
Now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we'll pour
And I′ll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shores
Of changes
