From the garden of heaven in a western breeze
Blowing autumn leaves into the evergreen
Hear the tavern-keeper as he counsels you
(He counsels you)
He'll dye your clothes with red wine
So we can open our eyes
From the back of the mind
Is it what you wanted?

I don't see now that
I don't see no more lies
From the back of the mind
Is it what you wanted?
Hell or high water
Taking a ride on the tide
From the steps to the walk
Is it what you wanted?

The waves a running high, the night is clouded with fears
(And whirlpools clash)
How will your drowning voice strike into every ear
(For a thousand years)
Find the winds that are blowing through the starry ways
(Starry winds fan the flames)
Come hell or high water
Will we stay the same?

From the back of the mind, is it what you wanted?

I don't see now that
I don't see no more lies
From the back of the mind
Is it what you wanted?
Hell or high water
Taking a ride on the tide
From the steps to the walk
Is it what you wanted?

A tale of April
Leave the cash where your fortress falls
(Build a fort)
Fort with red wine where my heart may brave
Build a fort with red wine

I don't see now that
I don't see no more lies
From the back of the mind
Is it what you wanted?

Hell or high water
Taking a ride on the tide
From the steps to the walk
Is it what you wanted?
