A rainy drive on a long straight highway
|
Can cause time to lose it's meaning
|
And the mind to wander far from the act of driving
|
Interruptions at every curve no longer jangle against your nerves
|
A rainbow bridge is not far away
|
Now you're standing on the steps of a fountain
|
On a hot summer's day
|
|
Running along a tree-lined pathway
|
Slowing your pace until you feel
|
Your heart beats in rhythm to the first light of day
|
Now you're running down a mountain
|
In the cool blue shade
|
|
A waterfall where you lift your head
|
Colours cascade from green to red
|
And the fireflies that dance when the light is fading
|
You drift away on the night ride
|
With eyes that dream as much as they see
|
The wind in the willows winding through the grass
|
The drawbridge of consciousness is lifted at last
|
|
Where are you going?
|
