Too Close To The Light

Every time I see you, child
Flying over imaginary worlds
Lost in your own light
Wild as the wind, and just as sweet

So young, that you've never heard
About pointless dreams, or have lost
Love, as soon as it wins your heart
Never to fear the call of the wind

Oh no, I should have show you
The scars that love leaves inside your heart
But no, I couldn't reach you
And now I know you were lost from the very start

I could have warned you, child
But you're too young to understand
In your dreams you fly so high
Lost in your own world
I could have told you, child
That love will destroy your life
In your dreams you fly so high
Lost in your own light

No one warned you how much it hurts
When you step too close to the light
You never learned that this light also burns
Leaving memories tattooed in your heart
I told you to take care, child
You're so fragile; you'll break in the end
But you're too young to hear my words
And you dream that the world's your friend

I could have warned you, child
But you're too young to understand
In your dreams you fly so high
Lost in your own world
I could have told you, child
That love will damage and hurt you
In your dreams you fly so high
Lost in your own light

And you dream on, dream on
Dream on my dream child
And you dream on, dream on
Dream on my dream child
