Comments to Paulo E. Tuasca
This may sound a little odd coming from a guitar player, but I've tabbed
most of the base keyboards, all the keyboards solos, and the two flute solos,
but can't figure out what Latimer is arpeggiating throughout this song!
Anyway, it's a beautiful piece and it's worth playing this arranged
stuff on guitar. Timing is as accurate as I can, and very subtle changes
happen here and there. Listen to the record and don't forget to have fun!

Lyrics:
The sun has left the sky
Now you can close your eyes
Leave the world behind until tomorrow
The dream is like a song
It leads you on and on
The piper plays his tune so you must follow
So far beyond the sky
Not knowing how or why
You realize this feeling is forever
And though another day
May steal your dreams away
You and the song will always stay together
