Dream away child Let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries Might claim you Dream away child Let your dreams run wild Or the years And the tears shed Might tame you For the last time we have Tasted love's sweet tears By the fire's glow If our hearts are strong There'll be no long Goodbyes when it's time to go But the strongest hearts are sometimes broken As the deepest vows aren't always spoken And the greatest wounds we hide inside ourselves where they never show Dream away child Let your dreams run wild Or a lifetime of worries Might claim you Dream away child Let your dreams run wild Or the years And the tears shed Might tame you When the winter weds the northern wind The child they bear is snow And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids But the trees will grow Sun and earth in time will come together God will give us back our summer weather But the memories of that first sweet taste of love Pass away so slow Can the wise men count the pointless lies we tell Or the price we pay And are songs a place to keep those words of love That we couldn't say When there's no room left to live inside ourselves Do we dream away
