Changes Lyrics - A Hero Of The Game - Phil Ochs

Sit by my side, come as close as the air 

And share in a memory of gray 

And wander in my words 

Dream about the pictures that I play of changes 

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall 

To brown and to yellow, they fade 

And then they have to die 

Trapped within the circle time parade of changes 

Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind 

Visions of shadows that shine 

'Til one day I returned and found they were 

The victims of the vines of changes 

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark 

It Swings through a hollow of haze 

A race around the stars 

Journey through the universe ablaze with changes 

Moments of magic will glow in the night 

All fears of the forest are gone 

But when the morning breaks 

They're swept away by golden drops of dawn of changes 

Passions will part to a strange melody 

As fires will sometimes burn cold 

Like petals in the wind 

We're puppets to the silver strings of souls of changes 

Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else 

One last cup of wine we will pour 

And I'll kiss you one more time 

And leave you on the rolling river shore of changes 

So sit by my side, come as close as the air 

And share in a memory of gray 

And wander in my words 

Dream about the pictures that I play of changes
