I Dreamt Last Night

I dreamt last night
That I ran and ran
In the village of your heart

I dreamt last night
That my childhood played
In the castle of your love

I dreamt that with wings of cotton
I took flight over the fields of your back
And the crops of your passion

I dreamt that I sailed
On a ship made of silk
On the oceans of your eyes
And on the bed of your tides

I dreamt I was a rose
Cultivated in the soil of your oblivion
Searching for the sun in your smile
And in the clouds where your name was born

I dreamt I danced
To the symphony of your voice
With velvet violins
And the glassy cry of an albatross

Last night I dreamt
That I could not wake
And I always flew
In the village of your heart
