Bed of grass beside the river
Close my eyes, design the picture
Move the orange sun above the sky
Silver moon and pink horizon
Way beyond the jetstream climbing
Colour in the sketches in my mind
Ripples where the boats are drifting
Hear the songs the breeze is singing
Paint the golden shade beneath the trees
Sunlight flashes off the water
Splinters that the mirror’s caught
Are darting through the space between the leaves
Only once and never come again
Only once and never come again
Confetti snowflakes tickertape
Showering on my frozen face
The icicles are turning crystal blue
Avenues of ancient arches
Patterns out of sleeping branches
The mist is hanging low above the dew
Happen once and never come again
Happen once and never come again
Special world in many colours
Secret words and magic numbers
Strangest moods and deepest feelings
Precious dreams with hidden meanings here
All the leaves have blown away
Woodsmoke turns the evening grey
Flickers from the bonfire flames
The shadow of the day remains
Happen once and never come again
Happen once and never come again
Happen once and never come again
Only once and never come again
Special world in many colours
Secret words and magic numbers
Strangest moods and deepest feelings
Precious dreams with hidden meanings
Out of my imagination
Somewhere in my own creation
Winding shapes and twisted reasons
Silent days and distant seasons here
