[00:06.76]Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
[00:12.50]"Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
[00:18.67]Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
[00:24.83]Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin"
[00:31.16]A kid knows what he wants to be before he's nine or ten
[00:37.16]Cowboys, clowns, and men of war, someone else's friend
[00:43.01]But nine grows into big boys' pants and then to scars and pain
[00:49.29]20's fast and hard as nails, but doesn't come again
[00:54.93]There's days to fall and days to rise and days for making haste
[01:01.12]Days for seeking out yourself, but no days you can waste
[01:07.17]Nighttimes filled with love so good it aches to rest it down
[01:13.33]Endless hallways dark with sleep and rivers dark with sound
[01:19.13]Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
[01:25.24]"Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
[01:31.13]Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
[01:37.29]Pegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tin"
[01:49.59]Children climbing on my arms, pigeons on my head
[01:55.49]Get thee up my little man, dream a dream instead
[02:01.26]Dream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the night
[02:06.76]Then dream until the morning's gone and turned the dark to light
[02:12.83]Then come and get your daddy if he hasn't blown away
[02:19.54]Rock him in your children's hands and help him find his way
[02:25.34]Take him to your hiding place and let him come inside
[02:31.13]He'll never tell your secret, cross my heart and hope to die
[02:37.57]Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
[02:43.49]"Tell the story that you told of sailors drinking tea
[02:49.40]Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
