Into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say over date and place
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot,
That you don't know how you started or where you're gonna stop
And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;

like a dream on the ocean,
Always drifting away,
And I can`t catch up,
She just slips away, (on the tide)

sometimes a great notion,
can lead us astray,
so weak to devotion'
so strong to deny

oh baby baby won`t you let me ride
-take me up on your sailboat ride
come on now angels are on your side
but she slips away on the tide

like mercury gliding,
a silver teardrop that pours,
