Pipe Dream Lullaby

Violet skies and the snow white doves in flight
So much like stars, moving across the land
For the vision, my reverie during the night
Only seeking someone with the strength to understand
Come, my love, see the silver swans as they sail
So majestic within their song, like castles in the sky
Beautiful dreamer, soothsaying stories tell-tale
Do you see these things in your pipe dream lullaby?
Fantastically parading upon a dark mare of darkened signs
Words written in fire holding meaning no more
I seek to dream, seek to leave upon those raging times
Falling so vicious, so bitter and cold like before
Since you know what's in the dream, my love, come to see visions
Soft rain and lavender lightening inside this cryptic air
So close and cramped, yet so free and wild
We'll chase the rainbows as long as we dare
And meeting our end wearing tears and smiles...
