In the shade of a willow,
down by a stream,
I wander down the hallway
of my fantasy.
I'm drifting like a cloud,
a shadow in the sky,
trying to find the courage
to go ahead and try.
I'm looking 'round at beauty
that's battered to the ground,
trampled by the people
blindly wandering around.
It's got me feeling hopeless.
I'm really feeling down.
Is there no one here who loves me
in this God-forsaken town?
I'm ignored by the strangers,
polishing their diadem.
What they all believe
is a wish fulfilling gem.
Life has got me thinking
that it's hard to find a friend.
I think of all those little games
that I don't comprehend.
I'll recognize your face
when I see you in the crowd.
I'll know you when you say
my name out loud.
Where are you, my lover?
Have you gone and lost your way?
Have your forgotten
everything you'd like to say?
I'll wait for you, my darling,
honest, brave, and kind.
I'll think about the mysteries
and magic we will find.
Walking by the river.
Footsteps in the sand.
Everything I say to you,
I know you'll understand.
