Eric Woolfson - Immortal lyrics

rate me

I was adrift on an ocean of dreams

I was amazed...

And as I sail to the end of the world

I'm not afraid...

Mournful moon and willow tree

Tell the world not to weep for me

And I will be set free...

I took a drink from a bottle of wine

And I was changed...

Made a deal with the devil inside

And I was shamed...

I have sailed on stormy seas

Where the four winds blow me;

Shining moon and willow tree

Tell the world--remember me

For I will be set free...

All that we see,

All that we seem

Is but a shadow of a shadow

Of a dream within a dream;

But if a tree is evergreen,

Then maybe part of us

Could be eternal...

Though tangled life

May be no more,

A drop rain upon the ocean

Grain of sand upon the shore

The words will live forevermore

If you can hear me now,

Am I immortal?

Magic moon and willow tree

If they ask about me,

Tell the truth, and they might learn;

Light a candle and watch it burn...

Then I will be set free...

Free as a bird

Upon the wind,

Now all the trials and tribulations

Of the world don't mean a thing;

Above the clouds

I'll fly away--

Was it my imagination,

Did the stars come out to play?

Beyond the sun--

Eternal flame,

I hear a chorus of a million voices

Calling out my name;

But all I see and all I seem

Is but a shadow of a shadow

Of a dream within a dream,

Free as the wind--

Lighter than air

Free from the jealous minds,

The scornful, bitter words

Won't hurt me there

And I will live forevermore--

If you remember me,

I am immortal!

I am immortal!
