The sky
Is reflected in your eyes
And I
Want to fly
On a carpet of brown leaves
We retrace the steps of change
Construct a tapestry of what will come
You point to the sea
I see
What seems to be so free
Bound by
Empty sky
On a tower of gray earth
Far above the spray-struck stone
We climb toward the melting point of time
Here we tumble down the path
Comic beggars trading laughs
For scraps from the tables of the wise
You point to the sky The sky Is reflected in your eyes And I Want to fly On a carpet of brown leaves We retrace the steps of change Construct a tapestry of what will come You point to the sea I see What seems to be so free Bound by Empty sky On a tower of gray earth Far above the spray-struck stone We climb toward the melting point of time Here we tumble down the path Comic beggars trading laughs For scraps from the tables of the wise Explain Request ×
