Free my soul to reach the sky The world outside in my mind's eye Lilacs cover hill in full bloom A voice pieces the day, "Away with gloom!"
You, oh, my soul, Take me above Oh, sweet memory stays in my mind You, oh, my pain, Now on the wane Oh, sweet memory that we two find
I will live my life in this place And I will pray to feel joy and grace
Now the wind strikes a haunting note Resounding on the air it floats
Fragrant violets there do lie Holding a dance when no one is by
You, oh, my soul, Take me above Oh, sweet memory stays in my mind You, oh, my pain, Now on the wane Oh, sweet memory that we two find
I will seek a dream in this place Though I will stand alone out of time and space Plastic Castle in the air Once it was bright, once it was so fair
Remembering those days the willows sigh In praise of scarred braves whose time did fly
You, oh, my soul, Take me above Oh, sweet memory stays in my mind You, oh, my pain, Now on the wane Oh, sweet memory that we two find
The legend endure with me And with you I will write a new history
