Last night dreamt I was falling
A new born through the years
Long before I knew sorrow
Long before I knew fear

I tried not to awaken
Clung to this childhood's sleep
Afraid all might be taken
But sleep like childhoods cease

Childhoods cease

A street of all illusions
That were so real to me
But are they true illusions
If they are all you see

The stars keep all our secrets
Safe in the night they dwell
And after time eternal
They all still listen well

Where our hopes had somehow grown
Something I had never known
Somehow they had crossed the dark unnoticed

Far enough to wish upon
Then return and carry on
Stars will whisper to the night
Behold this

Life is real but so our ghost
Side by side, along times coast
And to others we walk on unnoticed

Eternity itself has shores
We will meet again once more
Of all there is to learn in life

Childhoods cease
Childhoods cease (please know this)

I will be there
Childhoods sleeps
