When I look into your eyes

See the years I spent in them

I'm amazed to find they still show clear

Clear out to the edge every chance I took with you

Shining in the darkest places of my fear



I love the warmth that moments were the summer

As you softly shimmer in seven veils of haze

I feel the rainfall of a lifetimes worth of autumns

Running on my shoulders like November days



Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams

Someday soon I'll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I'm here



Sometimes you just can't tell the way the flood is 

gonna flow

Sometimes you never know the way the coldest wind will 

blow

I used to answer all these things for everyone

Not because I knew the truth

But because I was having fun



Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams

Someday soon I'll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I'm here



Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams


Someday soon I'll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I'm here



Stay free and throw your cares into the future

Let them all come out

Be true and pass those dreams onto someone

Before you wear them out



By some strange god and a good right hand

You can chase the ghost from the promised land

If the promised land turns out as it should

We can flood the place with consumer goods



If we eat our greens and we say our prayers

We can trap the beast in his stony lair

We'll tame the beast and we'll save his soul

And fill our schools with the gold we stole



By some strange god and your good right hand

We can shake the ghost from the promised land

If the promised land turns out as it should

We can flood the place with consumer goods



If we eat our greens and we say our prayers

We can trap the beast in his stony lair

We'll tame the beast and we'll save his soul

And fill our schools with the gold we stole
