In my dreams, I'll fly away in the air
In my dreams, I'm awake and I'm aware
The line between fact and myth is blurred
Nothing is exactly as you've heard
Are you the one I saw last night in my dreams
You stand even taller now than you did then it seems
You held my hand as we walked across the square
Your love sheltered me from the cold winter air (Fading like the shadow of a dream)
Through the cold and in the rain
You held me close and stopped the pain
Yet like a frightened bird, I still will fly away
Only to land again in your hand at the end of day
(It's time from the dream we awoke, vanishing like drifting smoke
Like the shadow of a dream)
Your love's as simple as the fire in a house of stone
In a dragon-guarded land, protection from the cold
When the sun falls and clouds shut our burning eyes
And covers woven from dreamy threads protect us from the night, from the night
(Like the shadow of a dream)
Wide-eyed and full of wonder
The young explore so full of hunger
But, we've had enough of sorrow
And pray the sun will shine tomorrow (like the shadow of a dream)
Tomorrow
Through the cold and in the rain
You held me close and stopped the pain
Yet like a frightened bird, I still will fly away
Only to land again in your hand at the end of day (like the shadow of a dream)
It's time from the dream we awoke - vanishing like drifting smoke
