After all this time, the leaves will decay No idea why things turn out this way No sail set on windy days At the mercy of the waves I've lost my beliefs Coast or reef The dice are rolling all the time Our words and deeds Should be the soil for new seeds Water doesn't turn into wine Oh, Puppeteer, set me free Please cut these strings They're strangling me, strangling me Like a thorny vine on its way to the sun Too dried out to sprout Rooted in a fallow ground In my mind the shouts resound It's the thief in the mirror who steals my dreams All those years in the unseen I have to swallow bitter pills For the mountains to turn into hills I put my heart under isolation The times they are a-changin' A blink of an eye, moments lost in time I no longer wait for a sign I don't lose my beliefs Coast or reef The dice roll again and again Our words and deeds Should be the soil for new seeds Water will turn into wine Oh, Puppeteer, set me free Please cut these strings They're strangling me, strangling me Like a thorny vine on its way to the sun Too dried out to sprout Rooted in a fallow ground In my mind the shouts resound It's the thief in the mirror who steals my dreams All those years in the unseen I have to swallow bitter pills For the mountains to turn into hills Oh, Puppeteer, set me free yeah Oh, Puppeteer, set me free yeah Like a thorny vine on its way to the sun Too dried out to sprout Rooted in a fallow ground In my mind the shouts resound It's the thief in the mirror who steals my dreams All those years in the unseen I have to swallow bitter pills For the mountains to turn into hills Oh, Puppeteer, set me free Please cut these strings They're strangling me, strangling me Oh, Puppeteer, set me free Please cut these strings They're strangling me, strangling me
