Dreamgirl (a song)

i saw her on the square

white doves in her hair

she was humming a lullaby

to the ocean in her lap

it’s the stuff that dreams are made of she sang

the stuff that dreams are made of


i saw her on the highway

a tiger on her back

she was selling second-hand prophecies

and offered me a pack

it’s the stuff that dreams are made of she said

it’s the real deal

the stuff that dreams are made of

baby it’s a steal


i saw her in the sky

wearing darkness round her waist

her hands were full of laughter

and a smile rode on her face

she was raining the stuff

that dreams are made of...


i saw her in the desert

a childhood in her fist

she had famine in her eyes

and calamity in her throat

whispering the stuff that dreams are made of

it’s the stuff that dreams are made of

baby it’s a steal

the stuff that dreams are made of she screamed

it’s the real deal
