Outside on the front lawn
in a cold wind with the big crowd.
The staircase needs cleaning
and the ground full of life.
A small child in a silk dress
with a bell I just gave her
I think it was Leila
but I never saw her face
Waking up. See the clock.
Dream had stopped.
And now we’ve blown it all away.
Entrance through a small crowd.
I think they’re applauding.
I can’t quite see the girl’s face
but I know that she is.
For a moment I saw the marquee
getting wind blown in the garden.
In a house I’ve never lived in
and a place I’ve never seen.
Waking up. See the clock.
Dream had stopped.
And now we’ve blown it all away.
Outside on the front lawn
in a cold wind in the night.
Small child in a silk dress
I never saw her face.
Entrance through a small crowd.
I think they’re clapping me.
For a moment I saw the marquee.
From the moment that I saw your face.
Dream wedding.
La la la la la, la la la la la,
la la la la la, la la la la la.
