CHANGES by Phil Ochs
Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
Share in a memory of grey;
and wander in my words,and dream about the pictures
That I played of changes.
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To browns and to yellows 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 vine 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 glass of wine we will pour
I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on
the rolling river shore of changes.
