oh my child is an acrobat
and he walks upon the wires
knowing well that he might fall
still he climbs up higher
if he should slip he will surely die
and his body will break and his soul will fly
into the night where the spirit scream
he will leave this world and become a dream
(second verse repeat musical pattern from first verse)
oh my father was a sailor
and he lived upon the waters
knowing well that he might drownd
he sailed beyond the harbor
if he should fall he will surely die
and his body will sink and his soul will fly
into the night where the spirits scream
he will leave this world and become a dream
nothing will change nothing will change
well that's how it go's but nothing will change
(on the last "change" play)

oh my love she is my saving grace
she holds me through the winter
knowing well that I will leave
still she holds me closer
if my heart should break I will surely die
and my blood will float and my soul will fly
into the night where the spirits scream
I will leave this world and become a dream
-thanks
