Oh mother of our lord come to me on this day
Drag me out take me home lead me further astray
For it was for-told in old nursery rhyme
A kingdom of gold lost forever in time

I smell smoke from an old flame
Dancing in the summer rain
And if it blows let it blow my way

An officer of the law pulled me back from despair
pushed my faith in his book made me solemnly swear
I took my breath made my peace with the earth
Kept my mouth shut for whatever its worth

I smell smoke from an old flame
Dancing in the summer rain
And if it blows let it blow my way

In the end when we return
if there's anything left to learn
there's always time at least to touch though
it never seems to mean that much

In the end when we return
if there's anything left to learn
there's always time at least to touch though
it never seems to mean that much

And it pulls me along
And it drags me along
The magic kingdom holds the perfect song
But it never ends
