The sun is sinking in the sea
As she sings my life for me
A tapestry of children's smiles
Wrapped in memories and miles
You'd better do the things you dream
See here, she said, you know it seems
That children grow and lovers sleep
The time that's left is yours to keep
Her song rises like the wave
Then falls and takes me far away
A sorceress on hammered keys
Her fingers play my destiny
See here, she said, you must believe
See here, she said, you know it seems
That children grow and lovers sleep
The time that's left is yours to keep
It tears from her like a cry
Then soothes me like a lullaby
I can see her sing through half-closed eyes
See here, she said, dreams never lie
My dreams are visions on the wind
And places I have never been
Pictures only I can see
Songs that sleep inside of me
See here, she said, you must believe
See here, she said, you know it seems
That children grow and lovers sleep
The time that's left is yours to keep
