"Changes" lyrics

"Changes"
(originally by Phil Ochs)

Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
Dream about the pictures that I play
Of changes

Green leaves of summer turn to red in the fall
To brown and to yellow they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade
Of changes

Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
One day I returned
And found that they were victims of the vines
Of changes

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark
Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze
With changes

Moments of magic will glow in the night
Fears of the forest are all gone
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
Of changes

Passions will part to a strange melody
As fires will sometimes burn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls
Of changes

Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
And I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shores
Of changes
