Ropes and Ladders

Mystic woman had a dream
1,000 voices spoke your name
Now all that she can dream
is all that she can feel
She sees herself as so unreal

So go on and lose yourself
in another world
'Cause I know this life gets hard
But will the next one hold the key
Won't you tell me what you see?

She climbs ropes and ladders
She will scale her way into the sky
She says nothing else matters
'Cause life is just beginning
When you die...

So many mysteries,
just spinning through your head
I said "Won't you please tell me
what it means?"
'Cause I cannot awake you
from your rebellious vision --
The stars of fate have made
their decision

So go on and lose yourself
in another world
'Cause I know this life gets hard
But will the next one hold the key
Won't you tell me what you see?

She climbs ropes and ladders
She will scale her way into the sky
She writes notes and letters
she just says it all helps her to get by
She climbs ropes and ladders --
But please, please don't ask why
'Cause she says nothing else matters --
But baby what about you and I?
