“Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow.”

Mind Hands Today Past Memories Forget Fate Tree Sea Sky Crazy Tomorrow Sorrow Let Me Wave Driven Rings Ruins Smoke Beach Sand Frightened Take Me Diamond Frozen Twisted Circus Of My Mind Windy
