about

Diaphanous dreams of yesteryear fading into multicolored clouds of sandalwood smoke.

lyrics

In Olden days when time stood still
you took a while and you took your fill
And after all I gave your will to someone else instead

When time alone was holding you
you looked at the skies for something new
But everyone said why don’t you rest your weary head?

And I was there in '63
and I was there when you turned the key
And in the old reformatory you gave your life for me

Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want you to hide

interlude

I recognize your mamas face
I recognize the human race
I recognize this other place where we used to go

You shot the bird, you shot the grouse
We laughed out loud at Mickey Mouse
And in the old abandoned house, you gave your life for me

Something that I contemplate
comes to me at half past eight
What you saw and how we relate still won’t leave with me

Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want to deny
Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want you to hide
(You To hide)
