Changes Lyrics - Singles - Ochs Phil

Phil Ochs 

Sit by my side, come as close as the air 

Share in a memory of gray 

Wander in my words, dream about the pictures 

That I play of changes 

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall 

To brown and to yellow they fade 

And then they have to die, trapped within 

The circle time parade of changes 

Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind 

Visions of shadows that shine 

'Til one day I returned and found they were the 

Victims of the vines of changes 

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark 

Swings through a hollow of haze 

A race around the stars, a journey through 

The universe ablaze with changes 

Moments of magic will glow in the night 

All fears of the forest are gone 

But when the morning breaks they're swept away by 

Golden drops of dawn, of changes 

Passions will part to a strange melody 

As fires will sometimes burn cold 

Like petals in the wind, we're puppets to the silver 

Strings of souls, of changes 

Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else 

One last cup of wine we will pour 

And I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on 

The rolling river shores of changes 

So sit by my side, come as close as the air 

Share in a memory of gray 

Wander in my words, dream about the pictures 

That I play of changes
