As I lent against a tree and struck a match to my pipe
The hushed voice of the pines lent me a secret that night
With all the colors of the sea and the stars in your eyes
Which trail you will choose will be only for you to decide
For when the giants in your heart grow weary and fall weak
Never forget it is you and not fear who will speak
As the whisper fell to gold through the wind to my heart
The earth began to fold, the forest began to part
As the wishbones from the clouds fell from the needles of the pines
A hand from the shadow pulled me back to travel through time
Where the sounds of the ocean combed through and out my thoughts
It was inside Napoleon's dream tonight I would walk
As the hand let go I fell through the pines and hit the forest floor
Where at the foot of the giant creaked open an old twisted wooden door
As I stepped inside aboard my crystal voyage had winched its sails
For now the world began to sink as the silked clouds became her veil
As the windows of the stars drew the keys for the map
I caught myself looked down thinking I'll never look back
As we took to the moon my heart took all of what it could fill
For the treasures of my soul reached out and held me still
Shook on the shoulder I woke from this dream
Napoleon looked down and asked where I had been
I looked at him square straight dead in the eye
Said I think I was in the place I will go when I die
