Lyrics
A gypsy wind, outbound and restless carries songs of the distance
Down summer dusk streams
Music that calls to the wandering spirit while night time is velvet
And dawn is yet dreams
Held up by phantoms and riding through shadow
Like thistledown hitch-hikers snatched by the draught
Spiralling into a web weaved by magic
Caught in the moonspell while night spins its craft
Chorus
Dreamsailor touches the distant horizon
Chases wild wishes until they come true
Dreamsailor travels on maps he is making
How far into the dream will you follow too?
Out on the water the white lace is showing
Run by the sandbars and down to the bay
Crystal ship coming about for the crossing
Is wreathed in the mist now and covered in spray
Riding the silk waves and bound for far country
Over Oblivion?s waters she sails
Never a doubt or a glance wasted backwards
New land?s coming up with the sun on the rail
Chorus
Bridge
You can look for his ship but she?s out of the sightline
Cut from her moorings and lost to your view
Into the realm of the voyaging pathfinder
Turning his back now on all that he knew
Chorus x 2
