perhaps.

Lay down when I say

And love when I say

And cry when I say

Will you too, die when I say?

And will I lay myself down beside

Follow you into dreams?

The sky is a dome someone hung

To keep us from better things

And if the sky were mine in soul to keep

I would paint colours beyond the rainbow

Glorious and unspeakable

Great and beautiful forthwith.

I say dreams are heaven-sent

And I say dreaming is faith and hope.

Mountains are

but dragons who slumber

And come the end of time

At the call of the creator

Will wake to devour the remains of a world

Eaten away by pain and bitterness.

Come now the river-roads

Come now the seas

In little boats of hope

We shall sail across the endlessness of forever

And yet overcome

All the troubles of the heart

I half-remember

The warmth of a lover’s touch

In some long-forgotten dream

I smile

You tuck me neatly under your chin

And we fit together perfectly

Halves of a forgotten whole

Oh the jaded Queen and King of hearts

Dreaming led us thence

And by dreaming thence

Did come the strength of forever

Maybe once I loved you

You who were bitter and coarse

And maybe once I believed in you

You who saw so many things

And loved what was best and true

Cars and seaside longing

And roads that lead back home

Where I secretly do not want to be

But home is where the heart is, they say

Forever itself would not contain my dreaming.

Maybe you’ll be light in the city dark

And maybe I’ll be seashells in the sea

Maybe we’ll hear the music

And so come thence to pass

We would sleep like children, I know

And fill the nights with mutual dreams of another place

Where the sky would be green as grass

And the rain would be colour glow

And river-roads spill across eternity

Tracing the paths of human hope

Maybe we’ll lose each other to the world

And maybe we’ll break our hearts

Oh, countless times

Maybe we’ll wander far searching

And maybe

We’ll find ourselves where we least expect it

Then, perhaps one fine day in a faraway place

We’ll meet again and so remember

What we used to be

You’d smile, I know

And then we’d spin entire worlds

Out of the sugarsweet joy of candy floss

And the golden strength of the sun

And the full-silver of the dreaming moon

All the secret wishings of stars

And all the colour of the rainbow

If only you could see all the things I saw

And hear all the things I heard. but

Ah!

To love is to believe.
