In a cold winter night I had a vision

Taking me by my hand

Leading me to the door

To rescue me from the wastelands

The glance of the shining ivories

Out of sound, out of reason

The voice of their laughter was gone

I'm walking over

Flying away, flying away
D
Dying into another world
A
Pure and divine
Bm
And the laughter dies
