Patchwork of Dreams
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A patchwork of dreams will be my cover,
A patchwork of dreams will cover me over,
I'll walk thru the night where the mad moon beams,
And my coat is a patchwork of dreams.
Patchwork of dreams so eerily shining,
Time is its cloth and hope is its lining,
Fastened together with gossamer seams,
Fine in all weather, mine in all weather,
Patchwork of dreams.
A whisper of love from my dream lover,
A kiss from the one I have yet to discover,
The warmth of a wish that never was granted,
A rose from the garden that never was planted,
A patchwork of dreams will be my cover,
A patchwork of dreams will cover me over,
I'll walk by the woods and the mountain streams,
And my coat is a patchwork of dreams.
Patchwork of dreams so eerily shining,
Time is its cloth and hope is its lining,
Fastened together with gossamer seams,
Fine in all weather, mine in all weather,
Patchwork of dreams.
The thread of a song in happy measure,
The bloom of a smile, my special treasure,
The hope of a word that's still unspoken,
A promise not made so never broken,
A patchwork of dreams will be my cover,
A patchwork of dreams will cover me over,
I'll walk thru the night where the mad moon beams,
And my coat is a patchwork of dreams.
