Winter wine
How you're always flowing
Blowing in my mind
Like a stream
These magic waters move me to a dream
Of travelling with you
Drifting carefree
Dropping downward
Through fresh grasses
Bubbles merrily
As it passes
Never knowing
Where you're going
Carry me with you (Carry me with you)
Carry me with you (Carry me with you)

Be conjured up in a midnight dream
Ancient castles dark
As wandering minstrels play
Tunes of yesterday
When dragons roamed the land
Knights in armour cold
Charged on horseback bold
The maids were saved
The dragons slain

Sail scene
Sea green
Sailing forward
To a new land
Treasure waits
Paradise gates
For the taking
Don't start waking
All you need
But take heed
Remember it pays to pay the sandman well
Make no fuss
For you must
In stardust
He puts all the colours in your dreams

Bells chime
Three times
Naked dancers
Enter slowly
Smoky room
Scented gloom
Audience eating
Fat men drinking
Candles burn
Dull red light
Illuminates the breasts of four young girls
Dancing
Prancing
Provoking
Dreams are always ending far too soon

Life's too short to be sad
Wishing things you'll never have
You're better off not dreaming of the things to come
Dreams are always ending far too soon

Sounds of a distant melody
Once played
Lost from memory
Funny how it's clearer now you're close to me
We'll be together all the time

Sounds of a distant melody
Once played
Lost from memory
Funny how it's clearer now you're close to me
We'll be together all the time

Sailing forward
To a new land
Treasure waits
Paradise gates
For the taking
Don't start waking
All you need
But take heed
Remember it pays to pay the sandman well
Make no fuss
For you must
In stardust
He puts all the colours in your dreams
