These Dreams - Maggie Reilly

Spare a little candle, save some light for me

Figures up ahead moving in the trees

White skin in linen

Perfume on my wrist

And the full moon that hangs over these dreams in the mist

Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand

I search for the time on a watch with no hands

I want to see you clearly, come closer to this

But all I remember are the dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when I close my eyes

Every second of the night, I live another life

These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside

Every moment I’m awake, the further I’m away

Is it cloak and dagger, could it be Spring or Fall?

I Walk without a cut through a stained-glass wall

Weaker in my eyesight, a candle in my grip

And words that have no form are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when I close my eyes

Every second of the night, I live another life

These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside

Every moment I’m awake, the further I’m away

BRIDGE:

There’s something out there I can’t resist.

I need to

Hide away from the pain

There’s something out there I can’t resist

The sweetest song is silence that I’ve ever heard

Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the Earth

In a wood full of princes, freedom is a kiss

But the Prince hides his face from dreams in the mist
