In a cold winter night I had a vision

Taking me by my hand

Leading me to the door

To rescue me from the wastelands

The glance of the shining ivories

A world that they can't understand

Out of sound, out of reason

The voice of their laughter was gone

Taken away, time for a change

I'm walking over

Flying away, flying away
A
Dying into another world
E
Pure and divine
F#m
And the laughter dies
