Am Dm Am E Am.Riff
Nicky my child he stands there with the wind in his hair
Am Dm Am E Am.Riff
Wondering whether the water the wind or the where
Am Dm Am E Am.Riff
I fear that someday he might ask me if mine is to blame
Am Dm Am E Am.Riff
And I've got no reply save to tell him it's all just a game

And how the sea she roars with laughter
And howls with the dancing winds

My age and my time, the bloodfire wine and rhyme
That fills my dream, reminds me of an atom
In a bubble on a wave
That held it's breath for one sweet second
Then was popped and disappeared
Into fruitful futility, meaningless meaning
Meaningless meaning, meaningless meaning
Under the toadstool lover down by the dream
Everything flowing over rainbows downstream
And there's a mirror that I'm lookin' straight through
And I get it
And there's a doorway that I'm ducking into
To forget it
But flashin' doors beyond the sky
The shattering midnight gathers
And reminding me behind my hind
The earthquake the sunflakes flutter
The broken coach and the rags approach
And the wind is devouring the ashes
