Splashdown in the silver screen,
Into a deep dramatic scene,
I swim through the theatre,
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer!
Like a kite in the bright midday,
Wonder stole my breath away,
Shy sonata for Mercury,
The stars always sing so pretty.
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I'm sad to see you go,
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone.
'Cause I couldn't live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!
Dreams don't turn to dust.
I made for the countryside,
And my eyes never grew so wide,
Apple, raspberry, river blue,
I don't wanna leave without you,
In the sound I'll gladly drown,
Into the emerald underground,
And I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see,
Surrounded by all this beauty.
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I'm sad to see you go,
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone.
'Cause I couldn't live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!
I'm Sad to see you go
But I rather be alone
When tiger eyes begin making you blush!
When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed,
Let 'em go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!
This picnic will soon depart,
Real life, I'm sad to see you go,
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone.
'Cause I couldn't live without,
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up,
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust!
Dreams don't turn to dust!
Dreams don't turn to dust!
Rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust.
