Behind the Curtains of Sleep
I wonder what she is dreaming of
Behind the curtains of sleep
Is it the beach beneath the starry night?
Or the cool breeze in the mid-July heat?
What if she's dreaming about someone,
Someone dear to her
Perhaps a paramour
With undying love for her
Perhaps I can find the one she admires
For I am jealous of him
Such a beauty
So remote from me
What if that privileged person is me?
Perhaps she is dreaming of a tryst with me
What a lovely dream that would be
But alas, her love is not for me
I bid thee farewell, my fair maiden
May we meet someday
May we talk and talk
And that would be my best day
