keep your hair long
keep it messy, leave it undone
spare the beard
listen!
the fiddlers gonna swim
make you glide through the waves

'cause sunshine and dust
stars and boats
waves and thunderbolts
dreams and tears
long kisses and cold, hushed goodbyes
rain drops leaking from the roof
through your heart
and this smile of mine
have a lot left to say!

'cause we dream while we sing
like this
and this,
till we heave a sigh of emotion
till we breathe, my friend!
till we breathe, my foe!

till the last song of dusk
i was promised long ago when i was born
under this sky full of folk songs and lullabies
full of my dreams and yours

full of the scattered bits of you and me
we lost touch with
long, long ago...
