Woke up in a hotel room
I was fifty stories high
A stranger in a stranger place
A prisoner of the sky
Somewhere in the streets below
There's a dreamer heading home
Past neon signs and party girls
Who never sleep alone
Met a stranger on the way
So subtle and refined
He it read from the holy book
"Those who seek will surely find"
Now I'm riding on the carousel
That takes me back in time
To a place before imagining
Where the madness made me blind
See how I'm shining
Like a kingfishers wing
Kalaidescope of colours
That changes everything
Blue for all the days
That I'll never see
I guess that's what happens
When the time slips between
Sometimes this world is cruel
It's easy to lose sight
Fate plays us all for fools
Who knows what's wrong or right
Your place is in the sunshine
May your shadows never fall
Though my footsteps will echo
Down your empty, silent halls
I know I had to let you go
You're not mine to keep
A bird in a golden cage
Only flies in it's dreams
