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...
