Celtic Dream

When I look into your eyes

See the years I spent in them

I’m amazed to find they still show clear

Clear out to the edge every chance I took with you

Shining in the darkest places of my fear

I love the warmth that moments were the summer

As you softly shimmer in seven veils of haze

I feel the rainfall of a lifetimes worth of autumns

Running on my shoulders like November days

Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams

Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I’m here

Sometimes you just can’t tell the way the flood is gonna flow

Sometimes you never know the way the coldest wind will blow

I used to answer all these things for everyone

Not because I knew the truth

But because I was having fun

Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams

Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I’m here

Last night I took a walk into the fire

Of my Celtic dreams

Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me

Until then I’m here

Stay free and throw your cares into the future

Let them all come out

Be true and pass those dreams onto someone

Before you wear them out

By some strange god and a good right hand

You can chase the ghost from the promised land

If the promised land turns out as it should

We can flood the place with consumer goods

If we eat our greens and we say our prayers

We can trap the beast in his stony lair

We’ll tame the beast and we’ll save his soul

And fill our schools with the gold we stole

By some strange god and your good right hand

We can shake the ghost from the promised land

If the promised land turns out as it should

We can flood the place with consumer goods

If we eat our greens and we say our prayers

We can trap the beast in his stony lair

We’ll tame the beast and we’ll save his soul

And fill our schools with the gold we stole
