Any help with the lyrics gratefully received.
Who are you without a dream
A dream of yesterday
I've lived one hundred years today
[Be sure to see me if before]
Been on my own today
Wish I may, wish I might
[Be the] late at night
Dreams that I fly across the world
Here I simply look [?]
Never been out of sight
Yellow flowers, spring delight
Wait on the mountain top
When I saw you many years ago
Just before the sky fell down
By and by you're all around
To your place up in the [sky]
Tell it as it shines so bright
Think of how you never do before
On the day
On the day the world turned upside down
Every night I see your eyes above me
Silver light that shines above the snow
Further now in fact for me to sail to if I'm virtue
Calling me to shelter from the grave
Last time I saw a face that I knew
And that was [sent to me] was sent from you
oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Let the same light guide me home
Tell me that they're waiting, waiting
This morning as the sun arose I turned and looked away
And travelled west between the stars
As if he can carry all alone, the groom has a song
I go to find where my father lay
Across the heavy plain
I wish I could know the old man
Could know the northern sky
I believe I'm on my way
I can hear him say I am
I believe I'm on my way
I can hear him call my name
It's a long long way before I'm done
Carry on, carry on
Tell me that the death has begun
The last tale of life before the sun
I'll meet you down the mountain side
Tell me your tale, I'll tell you mine
