Sell Your Dreams
When dawn draws near
And last night’s falling star
Has found a new home to sleep
Hold back your pearly tears
And
Sell your dreams At my door
When the autumnal moon
yearns
For the last kiss of Lotus
Dying On water’s hearse
And the fireflies, dim and pale
Hide under the leaves to rest
After a long night in spring
And the plump fruits grace
The wild trees by the lake.
Come, sell your dreams
At my door.
In the mild light of the sun
Which sleeps behind the clouds
Or blinded by its golden light
Shining on a bright new day
Passing by the field of poppies
Dancing specks of red dust
For When dusk falls,
And the nocturnal music begins
To resound, amidst
the fallen crisp leaves
I shall not sleep, nor dream
Without your dreams waking up
In my eyes
Come and sell your dreams
Though they are priceless and delicate like
Tiny coral memories
And pale blue summer skies.
