My love and I finished up our wine
And we lay down together like friends often do
And that self-same night, I had a dream
About another young girl I once knew
I traveled back to the summer of seven years ago
When I in slender youth was clad
When the air was full of magic
And our bodies full of strength
And we gave each other every drop of youth we had
♪
But in spite of our love
We were never of one mind
And we fought and separated many times
And we were unfaithful and we were unkind
And our story ended up in a broken rhyme
♪
In a mist, it was all in a mist
That we said farewell
♪
And when I awoke and saw my present love
And my mind, from troubled sleep, was freed
And I thought, "Sweet Ally, you are all I have
But truly you are all I need"
And since that night I don't look back
Or gaze into the future with her sign of birth
And the past has settled like the early snow
That lies buried in the bosom of the deep
In a mist, it was all in a mist
And so long ago
♪
And if there is a 'morrow
And a 'morrow there may be
Is what starts as a journey and ends in a dream
We are born alone and we die alone
And we cannot possess anyone in between
In a mist, we are all in a mist
In a mist, we are all in a mist
In a little sea
