Something suddenly cool Something suddenly dearer Someone wonderful who'll Appear suddenly nearer Someone suddenly cries Soft and low and discreet Language you realize Like perfume is on the breeze
Something shaking the trees Beyond ocean waves crest Movement nobody sees Till change is manifest Something touching my skin Somehow familiar it seems So gossamer and thin These pale and delicate dreams
As our summers end So we cannot stay Take me with you then Carry me away Home
Time may suddenly slip The present may disappear Like the wake of a ship The thing itself no longer here Somehow sweetly alive These ghosts that I inhale The moon and I survive While the dearly dead prevail
La la la la la La la la la la La la la la la Carry me away Home
