Is it a kind of dream?
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream?
Or is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?

Refrein:
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly?
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow?
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark.

Refrein (2x).
