What Dreams May Come
fair maiden who sails on each crested wave
drawn from the deepest ocean currents
galloping white steeds land on golden sands
within each beat, feelings growing stronger
exploring beauty within this magically universal dream
developing within every passing moon - joining with shadows we unite souls
I see a starlight shining so brightly, blinking
destinies promise to join our kingdoms
each one bringing you closer into my heart
a thousand gifts wrapped over and back
as silk-white ribbons inside out beams upon your grace
the greatest pleasure is dancing with you under the moonlight gaze
in the distance, at horizon's edge, a darkness
storm clouds approaching from the north
I see the fear in your eyes as the moon turns ebon
white steeds neigh in the wind, fearful of the tempest
a memory? or an omen of things to come?
you release my hand, thunder shakes our universe
lightning illuminates, casting ghostly shadows
I call to you, fair maiden, as you mount your beast
the windstorm drowns out my ardent pleas
what is this spectre that stands between us?
come back, come back o fair maiden of light
alas, the fantasy fades, I stand alone in black of night
waking up the eyes sting, salt-based
missing someone special with whom I shared once upon a time
lost inside the loneliness, nowhere to turn
stuck within a bubble of feelings
where someone will never leave or hide away
standing for a moment in the cold morning mist
listening to the crows call
haunting thoughts drift upon a cloud
with picture memories stored, deeply beautiful
the dream, the dream, it taunts me when I sleep
no longer sure of what is real and what is illusion
tonight, I will close my eyes once again and pretend-
you're still here, with me
A collaboration between Liam Mc Daid and The Seeker
