Tekst piosenki
When I was young then all my boughswere thickly hung with glittering hopes.But one by one they've blown awayand only one remains today.It flutters out upon the air,one hope all pinned on gossamer.What are all lives but gossamerin one lacy cobweb crossed?Yet strand by strand we tear at ituntil the pattern's lost.And one by one hopes blow awaytill only one remains today.I hope the forest will returnto climb the mist-hung morning slopes.Where falling leaves deep-banked in fernmay meet the water ouzel's hopes.But one by one they've blown awayand only one remains today.And when the condor opens flighton crystal air not cracked or stainedby any fallen angel's flight,these glittering hopes may be regained.When I was young then all my boughswere thickly hung with glittering hopes.But one by one they've blown awayand only one remains today.It flutters out upon the air,one hope all pinned on gossamer.
