To Anna

Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
 This ship has sailed, and I've bid farewell to the shores familiar to me
 Gravity releases its hold on my tired feet
 Luminescent moonlight poured upon the sails
 And I had a dream, I had a dream
 We were running through the tall grass together
 If I had a wish, if I had a wish
 I would wish to stay forever and ever with you
 With you, oh
 But childhood came and left us like a dream
 ♪
 I toss my anchor recklessly overboard
 I want to stay in the starry sky a little while more
 When you bring me down, will you bring me down softly?
 I'll open my eyes, and I'll see a world so strange to me
 And I had a dream, I had a dream
 Our hair was wild, our feet bare and dirty
 If I had a wish, if I had a wish
 I would take us to the time we were careless and free
 Careless and free
 Careless and free
 And free
 But childhood came and left us like a dream
