To One in Paradise

If I could see the sky above

And my mind could be set free

As wild white horses reached the shore

I'd stand alone and oversee

And if the bush before me burns

Should I turn my eyes away

And still the voices I can hear

As clear to me as light of day

I believed in my dreams

Nothing could change my mind

Now I know what they mean

How could I be so blind

Cold sands of time

(Winds that blow as cold as ice

Sounds that come in the night)

Shall hide what is left of me

(Come from Paradise)

I've been through times when no one cared

(Words that were mine)

I've seen clouds in empty skies

When one kind word meant more to me

(Shall last as a memory)

Than all the love in Paradise

I believed in my dreams

Nothing could change my mind

Till I found what they mean

Nothing can save me now

And all my days are trances

And all my nightly dreams

Are where thy dark eye glances

And where thy footstep gleams

In what ethereal dances

By what eternal streams
