Given and denied

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder
Which way to the years I´ve let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun´s eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I´ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain´t no doubt
When it´s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We´re given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies ´round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I´m weightless again
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
Before I´ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain´t no doubt
When it´s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
Which way to the years I´ve let go by
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun´s eclipse
on the horizon like ships
sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
Before I´ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain´t no doubt
When it´s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean
Of blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We´re given and denied
Give me back my innocence cos I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown and the leaves sing lullabies ´round vacant swings
Give me those wings
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me
I´m weightless again
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
Before I´ll go hear me out
Cos of this there ain´t no doubt
When it´s time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...
Fall like a leaf in the wind...
