  • In that dream, I'm as old as the mountains
    Still as starlight reflected in fountains then
    Children grown on the edge of the ocean
    Kept like jewelry, kept with devotion
    In that dream moving slow through the morning time

    You would come to me then, without answers
    Lick my wounds and remove my demands for now
    Eucalyptus and orange trees are blooming
    In that dream, there's no darkness a-loomin'
    In that dream, moving slow through the morning time

    In that dream I could hardly contain it
    All my life I will wait to attain it
    Then, then, then, oh

    I know someday the smoke will all burn off
    All these voices I'll someday have turned off then
    I will see you someday when I've woken
    I'll be so happy just to have spoken
    I'll have so much to tell you about it then
    Ah, ah, ah

    In that dream I could hardly contain it
    All my life I will wait to attain it
    Then, then, then, oh

    Wide-eyed walker
    Don't betray me
    I will wake one day, don't delay me
    Wide-eyed leaver
