1. The days were brighter
Gardens more blooming
The nights had more hope
In their silence The wild was calling
Wishes were whispering
The time was there
But without a meaning.

[Chorus:]
Away, away, away in time
Every dream's a journey away
Away, away to a home away from care
Everywhere's just a journey away.

2. The days departed
Gardens deserted
This frail world
My only rest?

The wild calls no more
Wishes so hollow
The Barefoot Boy
weeping in an empty night.

[Bridge:]
Cherish the moment
Tower the skies
Don't let the dreamer
fade to grey like grass.

No falling for life
A gain for every loss
Time gathered me
But kept me flying.

Away, away, away in time
Every dream's a journey away.

[Coda:]
"For this gift of dream I must pay the price
with the loss of life's pleasures".
