A Day Lyrics - Styx Ii - Styx

Written by john curulewski 

Lead vocals by john curulewski 

Woke up in rainy autumn 

Morning mist beginning to wane 

And the birds of the winged trees 

Calling my name 

Care less the clouds above me 

The wind is gently lifting my hair 

Where the rivers of the wind fall light rain 

Now stand bare 

Listen to the flowing streams 

Golden in the shelter of my dreams 

Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love 

Walk alone through the garden 

The leaves are wet with morning's tear 

And the whispering of someone 

Is drawing me near 

Content to rest awhile 

Pondering the motion of time 

Over unforgotten memories 

Dipped in wine 

Listen to the flowing streams 

Golden in the shelter of my dreams 

Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love 

[extended instrumental solos] 

The God of dusk is falling around me 

The night air now restless and dank 

Yet the fields are specked with flowers 

Few and rank 

Moon reflecting off the water 

Rippling an image to me 

Of the way that it is 

And the way that it's going to be 

Listen to the flowing streams 

Golden in the shelter of my dreams 

Playing a song on the meadow that echoes with love
