Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
Starship trooper, go sailing on by
Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to say
Catch my soul, catch the very night
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow
Of the fact there shown before you
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
That knew the knowledge of the land
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters
That this is all confusion
That knew the knowledge of the land
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
What you don't know, I have never heard
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
Hide the moment from my eager eyes
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
What I don't know, I have never shared
Spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
What you can't see, can't be very whole
Lose as much as only you can show
