Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide

Following the river of death downstream, oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky

And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean

Oh, oh, is it a dream?

Refrain:

Bright eyes, burning like fire

Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?

How can the light that burned so brightly

Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes

Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night,

Wandering over the hills unseen, or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air,

And nobody ever knows where you go, and where do you start,

Oh, oh, into the dark

Refrain (repeating till the end)
