Passions will part to a strange melody
Moments of magic will glow in the night
A race around the stars
The victims of the vines of changes
And I'll kiss you one more time
And then they have to die
Like petals in the wind
So sit by my side, come as close as the air
Dream about the pictures that I play of changes
Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
And share in a memory of gray
Journey through the universe ablaze with changes
All fears of the forest are gone
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls of changes
But when the morning breaks
Dream about the pictures that I play of changes
Trapped within the circle time parade of changes
'Til one day I returned and found they were
Visions of shadows that shine
And leave you on the rolling river shore of changes
The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn of changes
As fires will sometimes burn cold
One last cup of wine we will pour
And share in a memory of gray
And wander in my word
Songwriter: Phil Ochs
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
To brown and to yellow, they fade
Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else

Swings through a hollow of haze
And wander in my word
