in the dream that awakened me
you had come and taken me
to a sea of stars
the cat stood in the flowers
two ears above

and the ground that was under me
was holding me so wonderfully
on a bed of leaves
you were there with me
we were free
everything we saw was beautiful and strong
and i knew we belonged

then the birds came and carried us
to the sky and married us
on a bed of stars
where i was always yours and you were mine
in the long black eternity
i loved you so perfectly
and the words of clouds
like a bird sings to his flowers
and i was heard

and everything i saw
was everything i want
and this world had just begun
to live

don't wake me up
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i can't wake up from this

everyone was forgiving
made hopeful
made living
made winning
tonight

so captain please consider me
let the boats deliver me
when i close my eyes
drive captain, drive
it's time
for everything to be perfect
for everything to stop hurting
tonight

don't wake me up
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
