Dreaming
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
When you're low and need a rise
Take my hand and close your eyes
I'll wipe the tears from your face
Take you to your happy place
Beyond the horizon of your fears
Beyond the shores of pain and tears
Past the fields of fear and hate
Finally reaching calm pastures gate
You’re scared, confused and so unsure
But your heart’s well placed, your soul is pure
So walk with me, through the gates
Where the happy roam free and calm awaits
Welcome to love, welcome to lust
Welcome to reliability, hope and to trust
Welcome to passion, earths greatest sin
Welcome to me and what lies within
But it’s just a dream, you lay in bed
I’m just a thought inside your head
You lay there still, quietly snoring
And I dream of you in silent adoring
