In Your Mind
Bryan Ferry
Hark the frozen chimes of winter
Crystal shimmer in your mind
To the first time when you saw her
You implored her to be kind
In the open fields around you
All before you gone to ground
Both the question and the answer
Deep inside you, you shall find
And while you’re strolling
Through the summer of your years
Enchanted, a garden overgrown
Don’t call me sentimental
Those of you who care
Could find there a lover and a friend
To the end
And if you’re taken
By the spirit of your age
No reason to carve a cornerstone
Sway me, trade me
Your philosophy
irst you’re sowing
Then you’re growing
Then you reap
Until you sleep
Will you scale
The silver studded mountain
Where contemplation will spring to mind
See the veiled prophet’s withered gaze
Reflect the nouvelle vague
Glazed visions
Imprisoned your mind
Unwinding rivers flowing
Through the meadows to the sea
Paths of glory
Through shifting glades to fall
Present laughter and the memory
Of troubles you have seen
It is written in your mind
