When Dreams End

When early morning breaks and the sun shines through
Sleep flees from the eyelids and false fantasies are eschewed
When the dream ends and the music fades, we are left with harsh sunlight cutting through the mystery of the night
Wishing to continue our dreams we close our eyes and pretend to not see the light
We can only hide for so long and all too soon our delusion fades
And then we long for the ancient days when we were loved without a thought
