Upon a Bed of Petals
Last night I had a dream, unlike the rest
then begged of Sandman, this one request,
"Please take me there again tonight
and let me feel the sweet delight,
again, before it fades away,
...take me to where the petals lay"
We ran through meadows, days were long
I picked bouquets, and we were young
We were tan and lean and faces fair
my flowing dress and windswept hair
your eyes were dark with passion's call
you pulled me to the grass so tall
the earth was fresh, with petals spread
no words between us needing said
the sun was shining, skies were blue
our desperate love was brindled new
Last night I had a dream, unlike the rest,
then begged of Sandman, this one request,
"Please take me there again tonight,
and let me feel the sweet delight,
again, before it fades away,
...take me to where the petals lay"
