It was all at once Every sound and sight When the days were loud And the days were light But the shadows fall And the cheers grow small And I try to get back to the heart again To the right is wrong In the wild grow To the brightest red In the dying glow But the row in red Disappeared again And I try to get back To the heart again To another side Of the earth in time To the living tree Standing in the fire We are nice and split We grow old and sick And I try to get back to the heart again Does the railing run To a place I know Does a ghost remain When all the people go There's a secret tune Dreams return me to And I try to get back To the heart again
