If you don't want me to go,
don't push me away.
If you don't want me to stay,
don't pull me closer.
If you don't want to remember,
don't ask me to explain.
Tell me to leave
only after you've held me close.
Tell me you hate me
only after you've stolen a kiss.
Tell me you're sorry
only after you've left bruises.

Tell me you love me
and I'll stay.

Sing me a song of rain.

Strike lightning in my eyes.

Blow a warm breeze through my hair.

I'll dance a happy Wood Stork dance for you, my flower child.

Pretending all the while that we're at Yasgur's Farm.

remote the dream of love twas for thee
remote the dream of love twas for thee
its wonderland ne'er close to reach
its wonderland ne'er close to reach
to reach the remote dream of love  
ne'er close for thee twas its wonderland

as time marched on hopes faded away
as time marched on hopes faded away
thy heart's sunshine in gloomy shade
thy heart's sunshine in gloomy shade
thy heart's hopes faded in gloomy shade
as the sunshine marched away

on solitary shore without warming ember
on solitary shore without warming ember
a lonely refrain doth play on thy island
a lonely refrain doth play on thy island
on island shore without ember warming
a solitary lonely refrain doth play

in solitary dream of thy heart's sunshine
a wonderland faded in gloomy shade
without ember warming thy island hopes
march in time to a lonely refrain
thy remote shore doth play
ne'er close thee to reach love
