I’d seen it
in my dreams
The songbird
seemed to smile at me
She sang a
chanting melody
She seemed
to fly and tumble me
Like a
feather in her wings
You came to
me, you shook my hand
You smiled
that devilish smile and said
Can I have a
little piece of your heart?
And like a
dreamer flying high
I gave you
all of my heart
We talked a
little, we laughed a lot
Like kids at
play in a children’s park
I knew the
spell was holding me
And so we
walked from block to block
And I gave
you all of my heart
The rain had
turned the streets to glitter
The
buildings bright with dewy weather
I felt the
lights enchanting us
And so we
walked from block to block
As I gave
you all of my heart
And as the
blackness layed upon us
I knew the
time had come upon us
To say
goodbye
But still we
walked from block to block
And you gave
me all of your heart
I’d seen you
in my dreams
The
songbird’s eyes brought tears to me
She sang a
weeping melody
She seemed
to cry in harmony
With life’s
cruel disguise
