oh to sleep the night away
without dreams of yesterday
drifting quiet through the years
avoiding the knives and spears
cast by those in jealous rage
lost in battles that they wage
walking into morning's light
freed from demons of the night
turning gaze to open roads
as the day slowly unfolds

always something in the air
here and there and everywhere
around bends rivers are bound
tomorrows wait to be found
people still search high and low
some move fast some move slow
but there's nothing there to find
the future's far from their time
waking on another morn
far from where we had been born
we'll find there's no magic wand
which returns to us what's gone
what's to come is in the wind
and surely has already been
