I’m a dream woman, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah,
dressing the maypole in ribbons and bows
and baubles and tinsel and sweet fairy lights
until beautiful, beautiful, just like you
it grows the soul of a large Christmas tree.

This is the land of grand make-believe
where woman are gypsies in love
and men the dispensers of open doors
to the wild and the natural untamed.

Really, oh, really?   Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but you do have to dream to believe
she dances to tunes of loving a fool
while he tinkers away in the fields.

He listens, you see, to each/every tree
but never, no, never, to gypsies and me
and uses the tools of fully grown men
to cut, cut, cut, and run from love.  

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s a very rush job
and the ground is littered with bits and bobs
and there in that land of grand make-believe
they take on a life of their own.

They rise and they grow and, yeah, yeah, yeah,
into the best of all Christmas trees
because that gypsy was there sowing magic
to prove that love is a… tree!

There you are then, that’s that!

Fantastic! Nothing goes without dreams!
Sometimes we need to dance to the tunes that touch us through thin air.


Love,

Nice song!

Margherita - "Sometimes we need to dance to the tunes that touch us through thin air."

Sometimes, yes, but all the time and for all time?  

JL - Thanks so much for the read.
