Life's Dreams - The Art of Kite Flying
© Copyright George Papavgeris, July 2008

What is to become of you?
Smiling in your dreams,
Dreaming in your sleep…
May the dream you see come true,
Sleeping in your mother's arms.

All you know is love and joy,
Smiling in your dreams,
Dreaming in your sleep…
(The)whole world there at your employ
Sleeping in your mother's arms.

Much to see and much to learn
Life ahead and love astern
On the wheel you'll take your turn
Here you never can return
With the future yet to earn,
Sleeping in your mother's arms.

------------------------------------------

What crusade you fight within?
Groaning in your dreams,
Dreaming in your sleep…
Fears and hopes all in a spin,
Sleeping in your lover's arms.

All you know is lose and win,
Scheming in your dreams,
Searching in your sleep…
(for) Where work ends and you begin
Sleeping in your lover's arms.

Much to do and much to find
Much to sow and much to grind
On the wheel you take your turn
Easy now before you burn
Whose the future that you earn,
Sleeping in your lover's arms?

Cross the canes and stretch around the paper
(Just another turn,
Give me just another turn)
Trim the tail to give a proper taper
(Just another turn of the wheel)
Then you test the string and feel the thrill.
It was long ago,
Yet like yesterday it seems
When the kites were flying high,
Carrying our dreams.

Up the rise, the threshing field was empty
(Just another turn
Give me just another turn)
Open sky, and kindly breezes plenty
(Just another turn of the wheel)
It was just the place to test our skill
It was long ago,
Yet like yesterday it seems
When the kites were flying high,
Carrying our dreams.

Julie decorated hers with flowers
(Just another turn
Give me just another turn)
Jack would boast that his could fly for hours
(Just another turn of the wheel)
We would race them up and down the hill
It was long ago,
Yet like yesterday it seems
When the kites were flying high,
Carrying our dreams
.
Jack, he said his kite was flying higher
(Just another turn
Give me just another turn)
Julie cried and said he was a liar
(Just another turn of the wheel)
Then a freak wind caused Jack's kite to spill
It was long ago,
Yet like yesterday it seems
When the kites were flying high,
Carrying our dreams.

(Now)Julie's happy, married to a doctor
(Just another turn
Give me just another turn)
Jack left work to look after his daughter
(Just another turn of the wheel)
And the threshing field is waiting still
It was long ago,
Yet like yesterday it seems
When the kites were flying high
Carrying our dreams

--------------------------------------

Toothless grin upon your face
Smiling in your dreams,
Dreaming in your sleep…
Life you found is not a race,
Sleeping in your rocking chair.

Much you've done and much you've seen
Many times the slate wiped clean
On the wheel you took your turn
Now no longer your concern
Soon the future you will learn,
Sleeping in your rocking chair.
