	In my early years I hid my tears						In my early years I hid my tears
	And passed my days alone						And passed my days alone
1	A drift on an ocean of loneliness						Adrift        on an ocean of loneliness	1
	My dreams like nets were thrown						My dreams like nets were thrown
1								1
	To catch the love that I'd heard of						To catch the love that I'd heard of
	In books and films and songs						In books and films and songs
	Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy						Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
	In the place where the real world belongs						In the place where the real world belongs
2							Now I look for the beauty in songs	2
2	Still I look for the beauty in songs							2
	To fill my head and lead me on						To fill my head and lead me on
	Though my dreams have come up torn and empty						Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
	As many times as love has come and gone						As many times as love has come and gone
3								3
	To those gentle ones my memory runs						To those gentle ones my memory runs
	To the laughter we shared at the meals						To the laughter we shared at the meals
	I filled their kitchens and living rooms						I filled their kitchens and living rooms
	With my schemes and my broken wheels						With my schemes and my broken wheels
4								4
	It was never clear how far or near						It was never clear how far or near
	The gates to my citadel lay						The gates to my citadel lay
3	They were cutting from stone						They we're cutting from stone	3
4	Some dreams of their own						some dreams of their own	4
	But they listened to mine anyway						But they listened to mine anyway
5								5
	I'm not sure what I'm trying to say						I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
	It could be I've lost my way						It could be I've lost my way
	Though I keep a watch over the distance						Though I keep a watch over the distance
	Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday						Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
6								6
	And the angels are older						And the angels are older
	They know not to wait up for the sun						They know not to wait up for the sun
	They look over my shoulder						They look over my shoulder
5	At the maps and the drawings						At the maps and the drawings of	5
6	Of the journey I've begun						the journey I've begun	6
7								7
	Now the distance leads me farther on						Now the distance leads me farther on
	Though the reasons I once had are gone						Though the reasons I once had are gone
	I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for						I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
	In the sand beneath the dawn						In the sand beneath the dawn
8								8
	But the angels are older						But the angels are older
	They can see that the sun's setting fast						They can see that the sun's setting fast
	They look over my shoulder						They look over my shoulder
	At the vision of paradise						At the vision of paradise
	Contained in the light of the past						Contained in the light of the past
9								9
	And they lay down behind me						And they lay down behind me
7	To sleep beside the road till the morning has come						To sleep beside the road 'til the morning has come	7
	Where they know they will find me						Where they know they will find me
	With my maps and my faith in the distance						With my maps and my faith in the distance
	Moving farther on						Moving farther on
