After so many years have passed I continue seeing people reading far too much into musical lyrics as if they were meant to be a puzzle that needs to be picked apart in order to understand.

[Verse 1]
I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
[Pre-Chorus 1]
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me, leaving no trace
[Chorus 1]
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories, la-la-la
[Verse 2]
He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly checked the time, if I was late
[Chorus 1]
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories, la-la-la, la-la-la
[Chorus 2]
Hearing
Hearing, hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
[Verse 3]
It is no lie, (It is no lie) I see deeply into the future (I see deeply into the future)
Imagine everything (Imagine everything)
You're close and were you there
[Pre-Chorus 3]
To stand so cautiously at first, and then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
[Chorus 3]
I bid it to return, to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
[Outro]
