Last night dreamt I was falling A new born through the years Long before I knew sorrow Long before I knew fear I tried not to awaken Clung to this childhood's sleep Afraid all might be taken But sleep like childhoods cease Childhoods cease A street of all illusions That were so real to me But are they true illusions If they are all you see The stars keep all our secrets Safe in the night they dwell And after time eternal They all still listen well Where our hopes had somehow grown Something I had never known Somehow they had crossed the dark unnoticed Far enough to wish upon Then return and carry on Stars will whisper to the night Behold this Life is real but so our ghost Side by side, along times coast And to others we walk on unnoticed Eternity itself has shores We will meet again once more Of all there is to learn in life Childhoods cease Childhoods cease (please know this) I will be there Childhoods sleeps
