lyrics

To dream of seeing roses bloom in June
Or to see a libertine let out too soon.

To dream you see an ocean in the garden Lafayette
Is to find your destiny was found out too late.

The stars at night they slip from sight and vanish
Leaving you to find your way back home, all alone.
I would dream of breathing underwater.

To dream of taking letters to Napoleon or his wife in the night
Or to see a burglary in hindsight isn’t right.

The dream of stealing kisses no-one misses
Or the one where you get rich outright, overnight.
If only there were time to fly out solo… only fools know.

It’s not the only time that you fall down.
