Winter Wine

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

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, a 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

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
