Strangers

When I was younger, and life a stranger

I dreamed of circuses and things of danger

I watched the clouds suspended like balloons

I sailed my ship on treetop afternoons

No obligations, no sense of time

And life was equal to a lost child's nursery rhyme

And it was easy, so very easy for my mind

Where does it go? Nobody knows

Climbing the spiral stairs that lead nowhere

But as the years ceaselessly were rolling

Like a passage from a play of someone strolling

Through foggy nights and naked imagery

Through sunless days and glass menageries

A frozen face would hide its eyes

And wouldn't dare to even dream about the sky

Now ain't it funny, oh ain't it funny why

When we first met we both were strangers

You took me in from all the danger

You gave me warmth when I was cold

You reached with love and and touched my soul

You put the sun back in the sky

And then you gave me back my eyes

And now it's easy, so very easy I

Feel like I could fly
