Song Lyrics

I was adrift on an ocean of dreams
I was amazed
And as I sail to the end of the world
I'm not afraid
Mournful moon and willow tree
Tell the world not to weep for me
And I will be set free
I took a drink from a bottle of wine
And I was changed
Made a deal with the devil inside
And I was shamed
I have sailed on stormy seas
Where the four winds blow me

Shining moon and willow tree
Tell the world--remember me
For I will be set free
All that we see
All that we seem
Is but a shadow of a shadow
Of a dream within a dream;
But if a tree is evergreen,
Then maybe part of us
Could be eternal
Though tangled life
May be no more

A drop rain upon the ocean
Grain of sand upon the shore
The words will live forevermore
If you can hear me now
Am I immortal?
Magic mood and willow tree
If they ask about me
Tell the truth, and they might learn;
Light a candle and watch it burn
Then I will be set free
Free as a bird
Upon the wind

Now all the trials and tribulations
Of the world don't mean a thing
Above the clouds
I'll fly away
Was it my imagination
Did the stars come out to play?
Beyond the sun
Eternal flame
I hear a chorus of a million voices
Calling out my name

But all I see and all I seem
Is but a shadow of a shadow
Of a dream within a dream
Free as the wind
Lighter than ai
Free from the jealous minds
The scornful, bitter words
Won't hurt me there
And I will live forevermore
If you remember me
I am immortal!
