Lyrics

Like a stair reach up

Symbolic imagery of progress and aspiration, ascending like a stair.

As moonlight, as of fire

Comparing the brightness or intensity to moonlight or fire.

In the middle of desire

Expressing a strong longing or passion situated in the midst of desire.

By the master light that sees us in the wind

Referring to an illuminating force or insight guiding us in the challenges of life, represented by the wind.

We carry on, on and on

Emphasizing perseverance and continuation in the face of challenges.


Like coldness in the wind

Describing a chilling influence that can alter one's true aspirations.

That would change life's true desire

Highlighting the impact of external factors on life's genuine desires.

Seeing winter, summer, autumn, spring again

Observing the cyclical nature of seasons and the passage of time.


In the quiet of morning mist

Evolving from external influences to a personal dreamscape in the morning mist.

I dream of you

Expressing a personal dream in the quiet and calm moments of the morning.

In the tallest tower I think I always will

Relating the persistent nature of a dream, always connected to a towering presence.


Tall death that haunted me so

Introducing a concept of looming death that is elusive and challenging to comprehend.

Can't find no well design

Struggling to find a well-designed solution or understanding in the face of impending death.

Can't help it on your own

Acknowledging the difficulty of facing challenges without external assistance.


Surley time will come

Anticipating a future moment when the accumulated experiences with a loved one become apparent.

When the talents of a lifetime spent with you

Highlighting the value of time spent together in building a meaningful connection.

Surely makes the best of chance

Expressing the belief that a lifetime spent together creates the best opportunities.


Like the wind can tell us

Drawing parallels between the wind and life's inherent truths.

For what is true is life

Stating that true essence or reality is discernible in life, akin to the wind.

Days gone by

Repetition emphasizing the passage of time, possibly hinting at nostalgia.

Days gone by

We meet by the tower of true love

Meeting at the symbolically significant tower of true love, suggesting a deep connection.

We sit beside us in the rain

Sharing moments together, even in the metaphorical rain, signifying challenges.

Smiling with the raindrops clear

Experiencing joy amidst challenges, represented by smiling in the raindrops.


Like the sun can tell us

Drawing parallels between the sun and life's inherent truths, echoing earlier imagery.

For what is true is life

Reiterating the idea that the true essence of life is illuminated, akin to the sun.
