the changes - r.i.p. van winkle's pipe dream lyrics

[verse 1]
with your old dog at your side
out the back door, slipped away
and you climbed those rugged catsk!lls
that sunny, summer’s day
and you came upon a little man
who took you up the side
of a mountain valley lush and green
with the twinkle in his eye

[chorus]
didn’t ask your name or question you
but bid you told his cask
full of rich dark wine, up the steep hillside
and through a hidden pass

[verse 2]
so you join with his crew
in a flagon or two
and they filled your long white pipe
and the dreams that you wove like a fine tapestry
are laced throughout your mind
on that summer’s day
when you slipped away
from your nagging, industrious wife
[verse 3]
and it seemed but a night that you slept out your life
nеver were onе to question the time
with your beard a foot long, you entered a town
that bore a resemblance to home
the children you’d known from the past have all grown
and your old dog just offers a bite
they don’t know who you are
with your beard and long hair
not a sign of your nagging, old wife

[verse 4]
but you laugh deep inside
’cause you’ve beaten their game
you’ve been dreaming away your whole life
you have mocked all their rules
butchers, bakers, and fools
you’ve returned to just ask for a light

[chorus]
you don’t need to explain
where you’ve been, what you’ve seen
r.i.p. van winkle, just pass me the pipe
r.i.p. van winkle, just pass me the pipe
r.i.p. van winkle, just pass me the pipe
