He sits by the bed 
Watches while she sleeps 
Her favorite book of poems lies 
Just beyond reach 
He walks to the doorway 
He turns before he goes 
She starts to stir as he 
Turns the light down low and says 
You be Marianne and I'll be Lenny 
Together we'll live on the isle of hydra 
There in that land of plenty 
We'll be there till the end of time 

Eat tangerines and oranges 
They bring down from the hills 
Drink retsina at the cafe 
And watch, watch what time never kills 
And never grow old 
And never watch old friends die 
And like Peter Pan 
We'll be captain of that steel blue sky 

[Chorus:]
Things would be so much simpler then 
No need for fantasy, and no pretense 
Wouldn't watch old friends die 
Captains of our own design 
We'll be there till the end of 
We'll be there till the end of time 

He sits by the bed 
Watches while she sleeps 
Her favorite book of poems lies 

Just beyond reach 
[Chorus:]
