In a place you only dream of, where your soul is always free
Silver stages, golden curtains, filled my head plain as could be
As a rainbow grew around the sun, all my stars above, who died
Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see
These lovely people played just for me

Now if I let you see this place where stories all ring true
Will you let me past your face to see what's really you?
It's not for me I ask this question as though I were a king
For you have to love, believe and feel
Before the burst of tambourines take you there

(Green grass and high tides forever)
(Castles of stone, soul and glory)
(Lost faces say we adore you)
(As kings and queens bow and play for you)

Those who don't believe me, find your souls and set them free
Those who do, believe and know this time will be your key
Time and time again I've thanked them for a peace of mind
That helped me find myself amongst the music and the rhyme
That enchants you there

(Green grass and high tides forever)
(Castles of stone, soul and glory)
(Lost faces say we adore you)
(As kings and queens bow and play for you)

Yeah, they play just for you
