A thing of dreams
By by Jason Karlson
I’m a thing of dreams and sleep
Many a night a knight will rescue you
But that’s not me my love
I am his proud white stead below
Speed you from the darkness with
Love written across my flank
And every mile I run
I’m a thing of dreams
Qualities attributed to me through sleep
Fade away in the waking hours and fall
Further the more you grasp
At my image
Many a night you’ll see a man in the distance
But that’s not me my love
The unicorn a creature of your dreams
Like you’re in mine
You awake and I’m already gone
Running with the sandman in his kingdom
I’m a thing of dreams
Qualities attributed to me through sleep
Fade away in the waking hours and fall
Further the more you grasp
At my image
I am a creature of dreams and sleep
