Ropes and Ladders

Mystic woman had a dream

1,000 voices spoke your name

Now all that she can dream

is all that she can feel

She sees herself as so unreal

So go on and lose yourself

in another world

'Cause I know this life gets hard

But will the next one hold the key

Won't you tell me what you see?

She climbs ropes and ladders

She will scale her way into the sky

She says nothing else matters

'Cause life is just beginning

When you die...

So many mysteries,

just spinning through your head

I said "Won't you please tell me

what it means?"

'Cause I cannot awake you

from your rebellious vision --

The stars of fate have made

their decision

So go on and lose yourself

in another world

'Cause I know this life gets hard

But will the next one hold the key

Won't you tell me what you see?

She climbs ropes and ladders

She will scale her way into the sky

She writes notes and letters

she just says it all helps her to get by

She climbs ropes and ladders --

But please, please don't ask why

'Cause she says nothing else matters --

But baby what about you and I?
