These Dreams
Spare a little candle
Light my darkened dreams.
So I can see what’s movin’
Among these forest trees.
Pale skin, glistenin’
Perfume, intoxicating.
As the crescent moon hangs over
A land that’s fast asleep.
Shadows everywhere
Suffusin’ my memory.
I wish to stay forever
In this revelry.
I know it’s far beyond me
Still I yearn to be.
With my princess, my angel
Waitin’ inside these dreams.
These dreams
Go on when I lie in bed.
Every minute of the night
I live a different life.
These dreams
So warm ‘n’ snuggly inside.
Every moment I’m asleep
The closer they’re to me.
Thick wisps of spiralin’ smoke
Driftin’ to the clouds.
Figures of a head
Floatin’ mysteriously about.
I long to see her clearly
“Can you come closer please?”
But she slips past like a stealthy thief
Escapin’ a billowin’ breeze.
Adrift on a crystal sea
A pirate of the ocean.
My sails flutter in the wind
As I pursue a new horizon.
Yet all the time desirin’
To return to my princess, my angel.
These dreams are my portals
Into worlds hitherto unchartered.
These dreams
Go on when I lie in bed.
Every minute of the night
I live a different life.
These dreams
So warm ‘n’ snuggly inside.
Every moment I’m asleep
The closer they’re to me.
There’s somethin’ inside!
I can’t evict.
The urge to run away
From the blame.
There’s somethin’ inside!
I can’t evict.
So come again come back to me!
Every night into my arms.
These dreams that hold within
Their hauntin’, elusive charms.
I love them even though
They leave me each mornin’ spent.
These dreams that disappear
As the sun rises up again.
These dreams
Go on when I lie in bed.
Every minute of the night
I live a different life.
These dreams
So warm ‘n’ snuggly inside.
Every moment I’m asleep
The closer they’re to me.
