(claude s.) I stumbled on a hillside, begging For the answer to a dream where I'd turned myself to stone... And in the dream there was a girl, She shook my hand, i said 'hello'... It folded as i crumbled... I don't know why all the rains must Always fall into me. there are colors In the sky we cannot see, I do believe... And she said, Heaven is the only way to fade... And so i told myself i'd have to find My way across alone. there are no Reasons why...just then the birds That flew all took me in their wings And then i knew; Everything is surely something... My father died never knowing what It was, and it was plain... It doesn't matter what you do or What you say, just sense the pain... And she said, Heaven is the only way to fade... So when i shut my eyes i cannot Wait for the replies from her. i'm Sure she'll understand...that after All the time is gone i'll know i've Lived my life in full, as great as i Could be... And in the dream the girl Reached out into the dream the girl Reached out into the night, we flew Away...i asked her if she had any Old regrets that made her stay... And she said, Heaven is the only way to fade... (for my father, who died never knowing What it was and it was plain)
