Lyrics

Sing to me an old song, a song of yesterday
It's coming back the way it was before I went away
I feel the change in every chord like the changes in my life
The old songs call me back again across the sea of time
Once a ship has broken from the safety of the shore
And the sailors gone upon the morning tide
The world they left behind is changed and changed forever more
When they come back to the dark water side

The life I left unended calls me back again to earth
The past is like a hand upon my arm
My sorrows will be mended in the suddenness of birth
And there is no disquiet, no alarm
Come and take these crutches from my side, tonight I feel like dancing
The music calls to me, just like a friend
Another turn around the floor and yet another chance
The circles spin together without end

Sing to me an old song, a song of yesterday
It's coming back the way it was before I went away
I feel the change in every chord like the changes in my life
The old songs call me back again across the sea of time
