lyrics

I went on a journey through the mountains
I walked in the heat of the dunes
Then I began to feel sea sick
A little bit like down and out
Ended up stuck on an island
But floated away on a cloud

I wanted words to mean something
I wanted dreams to come true
Though it was over before it started
I'll find a way back to you

I was so cold, I was freezing
And all of the world seemed so big
I boarded a ship on the ocean
To get to the castle she's in

I wanted words to mean something
I wanted dreams to come true
Though it was over before it started
I'll find a way back to you
