lyrics

Hey, Pauline, stars are in your eyes,
A distant light that shines from deep inside you cannot be denied,
Hey, Pauline, strange as it may seem, I believe that sacred and eternal flame, it calls your name,
Hey, Pauline.

I remember playing 'neath the clothesline on a gleaming summer's day,
Billowed sheets were magic sails floating down, to carry you away, hey.

Hey, Pauline, I can see you there,
A barefoot girl dancing in the meadow, spirit light and free,
Hey, Pauline, tell me what that means,
I can see that spirit dancing in you still; it always will,
Hey, Pauline.

Standing at the kitchen sink, gazing out the window toward the sky,
I gently tug upon your dress, ask you, "Mother, what has made you cry?"

Hey, Pauline, now I think I know,
Someone, long ago, had left you lonely, standing in the rain,
Hey, Pauline, remember this one thing: you needn't wait for love when it was always there, everywhere,
Hey, Pauline.

When I was very young, I dreamed you were an angel stranded on the ground,
Autumn leaves would come, sadly to remind you,
Falling just like feathers all around.

Something in your gentle voice echoed through my soul for all these years,
Like a music from another world, you alone could always seem to hear so clear.

Hey, Pauline, I can hear it now,
All you taught me, how I had to listen...listen with my heart,
Hey, Pauline, it wasn't just a dream,
Dreams are only wishes if they can't come true, yeah, but they do,
Hey, Pauline.

Yeah, but they do,
Hey, Pauline, (stars are in your eyes)
Hey, Pauline, (spirit light and free)
Hey, Pauline, (stars are in your eyes)
Hey, Pauline.
