Caravan - Winter Wine lyrics

Winter Wine

How you're always flowing, blowing in my mind

Like a stream, these magic waters move me to a dream

Of travelling with you, drifting carefree, dropping downward through fresh grasses

Bubbles merrily as it passes, never knowing where you're going

Carry me with you, carry me with you

Be conjured up in a midnight dream, ancient castles dark

As wandering minstrels play tunes of yesterday

When dragons roamed the land, knights in armour gold

Charged on horseback bold

The maids were saved, the dragons slayed

Sail scene, sea green - sailing forward to a new land

Treasure waits, paradise gates, for the taking, can't start waiting

All you need, but take heed, remember it pays to pay the sandman well

Make no fuss, for you must - in stardust, he puts all the colours in your dreams

Bells chime three times, naked dancers enter slowly

Smoky room, scented gloom, audience eating, fat men drinking

Candles burn, a dull red light illuminates the breasts of four young girls

Dancing, prancing, provoking - dreams are always ending far too soon

Life's too short to be sad, wishing things you'll never have

You're better off not dreaming of the things to come

Dreams are always ending far too soon

Sounds of a distant melody, once played, lost from memory

Funny how it's clearer now, you're close to me

We'll be together all the time
