Was I dreaming, was I awake
Last night way up on Yonder Hill
The air was crisp, the wind was cold
On moonlight had I drunk my fill
Such things I saw, I can't be sure
Was I dreaming, was I awake
A bright red fox had caught my eye
And showed me just the path to take
From a high viewpoint, looking down
Such things I saw, I can't be sure
Perhaps the moon played tricks on me
But what I saw had such allure
I saw a temple far away
From a high viewpoint, looking down
A temple in the Valley Low
That served no parish, road or town
I saw my destiny, I'm sure
I saw a temple far away
And knew I'd ring the bell therein
On some far-distant future day
Last night, way up on Yonder Hill
I saw my destiny, I'm sure
To reach that place, and what is there
No matter what I must endure
