Changes Lyrics

Changes lyrics

Phil Ochs
Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of
gray
Wander in my words, dream about the pictures
That I play of
changes
Green leaves of summer turn 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
'Til one day I returned and found they
were the
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
All fears of the forest are 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
So sit by my side,
come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
Wander in my words,
dream about the pictures
That I play of changes
