I dreamed the wind came to my house

These are the words fell from his mouth

"the king you seek you'll find him true

But only if he rides the road with you"



I stepped aboard a ship that flew

It took me to wherever it wanted to

Far above the land, far above the sea

The dreamer and the doer agreed to agree



I was sent to the war, stripped of my power

Gagged and imprisoned in a tall dark tower

I must have cried for an age or more

'till i saw through tears and i found the door



High on a cliff, in gorgeous clothes

A madman danced on the balls of his toes

Forgetting myself i fell at the feet

Of the greatest fool i ever did meet



The stars were bright and magic afoot

On the summer wind rose the sound of a flute

I saw the musician - my heart knew him well

What happens next, no rhyme can tell



We came to the end of the world one day

A dolphin swan in a sheltered bay

I paid to the king what it was i owed,

Put my face to the wind and my foot on the road



I find i've wandered far from home

But home is in me wherever i roam

I thought i was an hour or a year behind

But the hours and the years are only time
