[Verse 1]
Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder?
Which way to the years I've let go by?
Let a thirsty man drink in its memories
While the water still flows sweet and crystal clear
For yesteryear

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh to see the sun's eclipse
On the horizon like ships
Sailing way away from here
Oh just one more time my dear
'Fore I'll go hear me out
'Cause of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows...

[Chorus]
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of
Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

[Verse 2]
Give me back my innocence 'cause I wish to dream again
Like I never outgrew my old playground
Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown
And the leaves sing lullabies 'round vacant swings
Give me those wings
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Let me fly once again
Like I did way back when
I would gamble and win
To lift me high above the din
Of the future we see
Does it hold something for me?
I'm weightless again
Just before the shadows...

[Chorus]
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of
Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Before I'll go hear me out
'Cause of this there ain't no doubt
When it's time for curtain call
Just before the shadows

[Chorus]
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of
Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean of
Blue like your eyes in the twilight theater
With symphonies playing in the world without sound
We're given and denied
