In My Dreams

When we were young we shared our dreamsÅŸ
I was your Queen you were the Captain of my
seaÅŸWe felt we were the only ones to seeÅŸMermaids
combing their hair with coral brushes from the sea
In my dream you were food and wineÅŸin my dreams
we had space and timeÅŸIN my dreams baby we
could flyÅŸIn my dreams you'll never dieÅŸ
Sweet,sweet music, we made our own The tree
in our garden was our surrogate home We
Drank blue lemonade and ate mud pies We
Owned the land oh yes we owned the sky
in my dreams you were food and wine in my
dreams we had space and time on my dreams
baby we could fly in my dreams you'll never die
can you believe every secret i had I shared with
you yes with you always always in our games i
took the blame for you
in my dreams you were food and wine in my
dreams we had space and time on my dreams
baby we could fly in my dreams you'll never die
can you believe every secret i had I shared with
you yes with you always always in our games i
took the blame for you
in my dreams you were food and wine in my
dreams we had space and time on my dreams
baby we could fly in my dreams you'll never die
I was your Queen you were the Captain of my
seaÅŸWe felt we were the only ones to seeÅŸMermaids
combing their hair with coral brushes from the sea
In my dream you were food and wineÅŸin my dreams
we had space and timeÅŸIN my dreams baby we
could flyÅŸIn my dreams you'll never dieÅŸ
