The Dreamer

She saw that he closed the door
She stole a look in the guarded book
His prose was a line of crows
On a washing line in the summer time
And the wind blew the crows around
Some made the sky, some hit the ground
She never heard a fuller sound
It comes as no surprise;
She’s in love with the dreamer
So in love with his world
He had songs you could sing along to
In any time, in any key
They were jewels in elysian pools
In eternity for all to see
And the water helped the jewels to shine
Some like the stars and some like wine
In the eyes of earthbound angels
It comes as no surprise…
He makes her close her eyes
He helps her paint the skies blue
And the seventh dream was, so surreal
When the dreamer broke the seventh seal
And butterflies all lost their wheels
It comes as no surprise…
