I once wrote about a chrystal stream Where poets once wrote And young lovers dreamed Of the beautiful years to come
But the chrystal stream became a fetid place Of sewage and industrial waste And so the poets no longer write And young lovers no longer dream Of the beautiful years to come
But now I sit beside a chrystal bay The sun forming diamonds on rippling waves Bird song sounding in my ears Peace washing away years of stress and fear This now the place where poets write Now the place where young lovers dream Of the beautiful years to come
Tranquil here in the early dawn With the rising sun reborn This now the place to sit and think Take up the pen and make bold the ink But I'll never forget the chrystal stream Where poets once wrote and young loves once dreamed Of the beautiful years to come
