Long Winter Dreams

Winter is in the air, the winds of Avalon

They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn

Light from the old watchtower, a message in the sky

I slip into a dream sweeter than the wine

Of castles that hang in the air

Somewhere on the wind I hear

The echoes of long winter dreams

They're written in the sky at night

And linger for all who believe

Changes are drawing near

I know they'll soon be here

Rome calls him Jupiter

In Egypt old Ammon

King of the universe, the last phenomenon

Tales from the ancient world are patterns in the dream

Echoes and illusions are never what they seem

Like castles that hang in the air

Somewhere on the wind I hear

The echoes of long winter dreams

They're written in the sky at night

And linger for all who believe

Somewhere on the wind I hear

The echoes of long winter dreams

They're written in the sky at night

And linger for all who believe

Changes are drawing near

I know they'll soon be here

Winter is in the air, the winds of Avalon

They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn

Light from the symphony shines upon the score

Just here for one more day, gone forevermore

Like castles that hang in the air

Somewhere on the wind I hear

The echoes of long winter dreams

They're written in the sky at night

And linger for all who believe

Changes are drawing near

I know they'll soon be here
