When evening falls
She will run to sea
Like whispered dreams
Your eyes can't see

Soft and warm
She'll touch my face
A bed of stone
Against the lace

We believe we catch the bus
Ride the wind to the sun
Sail away on trips of wonder
But life's not a wheel

With chains made of steel
So bless me come the dawn
Come the dawn.

-- Rainbow.
