In the clouds, in the leaves
In the arms, in the sleeves
In the sky and the road
The bear and the toad
In the home and the heart
In the kiss and the dart
In the head and the soul
In the forest and the hole
In the sweet, in the sour
In the wink and the hour
In the sun, in the sea
In the bloom, in the bee
Our dreams are made of ashes and clay
The touch and the sting
In the chain and the ring
In the book and the word
In the hoof and the herd
In the grass and the blade
And the runes we obey
In the boys and the girls
In the spirit and the squirrel
Our dreams are made of ashes and clay
In the spit and the sweat
In the tears of regret
In the oath and the break
In the oak and the lake
In the cry and the yell
In the scream in the well
In the cold and the heat
In the blood of the weak
Our dreams are made of ashes and clay
In the book and the ale
In the wind and the sail
In the wood and the stone
and the flesh and the bone
In the ghost and the child
In the corpse and the smile
In the rake and the men
In the egg and the hen
In the yin and the yang
In the sung and the sang
In the note and the rest
In the north and the west
Our dreams are made of ashes and clay
In the south and the east
The dove and the peace
In the boot and the crack
In the stones in the sack
In the rock and the rule
In the sand and the jewel
In the crab and the claw
In the cooked and the raw
Our dreams are made of ashes and clay
