When I was a child I used to wander
F               C   G   C  F
In a world of magic all my own
          C                G
Where the beasts had funny names
          C                    F
And their shapes were wild and strange
                          C  G    C G     G7
And all of them would answer when I spoke.

Am                  Asus4 Am     F
And in the darkness I   would go there
Dm          Dsus2  Am Esus4
As I lay in my bed alone.
    Dm            Dsus2
I'd close my eyes and see
    Am             Asus4 Am
The place I longed to   be
Dm              Dsus2 Am  G   G7
And gladly stay until the dawn.


    C               F  C      G
    I'd travel to another country
    F              C  G     C  G  G7
    Oh, what a lovely place to be.
              C                  G
    Where the creatures all were tame,
            C            F
    And the echo knew my name,
    G          F      C  G      C
    When in my dreams it called to me.

C\addG        F    C        G  G7
But I forgot, when I grew older,
F             C   G  C  F
About the country in my mind;
    C                 G
The beasts with funny names
    C              F
And moonlit circle games
                    C    G    C G     G7
With childhood toys were left behind; 

Am                      Asus4 Am     F
But sometimes starlight would remind me
Dm              Dsus2  Am Esus4
Of places where I used to go,
    Dm        Dsus2
And every now and then
     Am           Asus4 Am
When talking with a     friend
Dm                Dsus2       Am GG7
I'd ask if they'd been  there also...


    C               F  C      G
    Do you recall another country?
    F               C    G  C     G  G7
    I used to think that it could be;
              C                  G
    Where the creatures all were tame,
            C            F
    And the echo knew my name,
    G          F      C  G      C
    When in my dreams it called to me.

C\addG             F  C    G    G7
But now I've recently discovered
F                  C   G C F
The way back to places I recall
    C                G
The creatures I knew then
    C              F
Are with me once again
               C   G  C  G     G7
And there is magic after all;  

Am                Asus4 Am     F
And I may sing to you   by starlight,
Dm         Dsus2  Am      Esus4
Or trace a shadow on your screen,
    Dm         Dsus2
Or take you by the hand
    Am       Asus4 Am
Across a moonlit   land
Dm          Dsus2 Am   G   G7
To places only I  have seen...


    C               F  C      G
    So come with me to another country
    F              C  G     C  G  G7
    Oh, what a lovely place to be.
              C                 G
    Where the creatures all are tame,
            C          F
    And the echo knows your name,
    G              F    C   G     C
    When you come share the dream with me.


This started out trying to be a song about Cyberia, the country inside
computers and networks, but it sort of got away from me.  It still fits
but it got bigger, somehow.  Songs are like that.
