Once upon a never was it so
You and I thought things we'd never know
And trees with wings flew past while down below
We watched each other in the fire's glow
Once upon a never was it so
Sunlight streams down secret paths
And washes us away
The colours slide into themselves
Until our dreams turn grey
There’s nothing left to say
A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day
The time has come for you to fly away
No matter what you hear the cuckoos say
Best leave the nest lest you become the prey
A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day
Sunlight streams down secret paths
And washes us away
The colours slide into themselves
Until our dreams turn grey
There’s nothing left to say
A clock that's stopped will tell you twice a day
Once upon a never was it so
Once upon a never was it so
Once upon a never was it so
Once upon a never was it so
