Times and Places
Somnambulant traces
Lit only by the moon beams
Cast in secret and hidden places
Visited only in the midnight of our dreams
Secret rendezvous of forgotten faces
Fantastic visions wash over the rocky streams
Spirits gliding in misty spaces
A gurgling, a rushing, a pouring
Down, down, down
The mountainside
Down the canyons
Down the valleys
Down to the far-off sea
Where gather together
All things
All the elements
All the sands of time
All the spirits of the land
Washing all together
In foam and wave
All the dreams
All the days
Lost
Forever
In fantastic reverie
