Olive Chan - Clouds and Dreams Lyrics

Two hearts adrift like clouds in flight
Why chase the ripples in the light?
Above the stars still wait their time
Yet here no truth in what we find
On the peaks white stones trace their guise
Fallen pines stand where silence lies
Through the years all poems sing the same
Don't scorn the peace in gentle lanes
Life's but a dream we know too well
A fleeting spark a fragile spell
Dust fills the heart it fades away
While glory wanes with every day
Oh winds will cry and tears will fall
The mountains stand we hear their call
Through fleeting skies the wild geese stray
Still we yearn as spring decays
Life and death shadows in the stream
Nothing lasts not even dreams
Each drop's a weight upon the soul
Each rise and fall no hand can hold
Storm and sorrow bring their grace
Lonely journeys we must face
How the years erode the morn -
A quiet wound the heart has borne
Life's but a dream we know too well
A fleeting spark a fragile spell
Dust fills the heart it fades away
While glory wanes with every day
Oh winds will cry and tears will fall
The mountains stand we hear their call
Beyond the clouds where eagles stray
We lose the sun as skies turn gray
Beneath the heavens time flows on
The echoes fade the past is gone
Yet still through mist the song remains
A whispered hope across the plains
Beneath the heavens time flows on
The echoes fade the past is gone
Yet still through mist the song remains
A whispered hope across the plains
