lyrics

Went on a trip down the road a ways
And I followed the tracks of gypsy caravans from older days
Older days, older golden brighter days x2

But the road gave way and left stranded but not alone like in a dream where all is gold and you never want to go away

There were lions, there were bears and multicolored splendor everywhere
And lights like fireflies were dancing through the trees
through the swaying trees x2

and I wandered around following the sounds, the sights the scenes
yeah the peopled smiled I felt at once warm and at peace

ran into the tin man
who was looking for his oil can
he and the gypsy queen and introduced me
to their friend maryjane

the mad conductor came along with his glow stick baton and as he swung the notes were spinning around I watched the images created by the sound in the sky
in the sky in the sky so high x2

it filled me up from my head down to my toes
yeah I took one breath and it picked me up
up off the floor

saw the poet who ran on broken dreams
and the ghost of all the people all the places all the things that we’d been that we’d been that day that we’d been along the way

and their hungry hearts took in all that I’d seen and left me standing there trying to figure our what it all means to me x2
