I lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
|
Watched my dreams from the years gone by,
|
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
|
Always by my side, always by my side;
|
|
I saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
|
Turning round with a golden key,
|
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
|
Like a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry;
|
|
Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
|
Sailors danced at the borderline,
|
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman,
|
Emotions running high, in the summertime;
|
|
Take me back to the places I've never been,
|
Take me back to another time,
|
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
|
Only in my mind, only in my mind;
|
|
Late last night I met up with a lady-love,
|
Dressed in red, didn't say goodbye,
|
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
|
Tender hands can do, and I'll be missing you;
|
|
Take me back to the places I've never been,
|
Take me back to another time,
|
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
|
Only in my mind, only in my mind;
|
|
Follow the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
|
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine;
|
It's in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
|
The spirit of one world;
|
|
Oh take me back to the places I've never been,
|
Take me back to another time,
|
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
|
Only in my mind, only in my mind;
|
|
I lived my life in the words of a Storyman...
