The Dream Peddler
Come young Sir,
To me, to me
Would you like to buy a Dream?
Or perhaps, a Memory?
Come to me,
I’ll let you peek
At what’s forgotten
Or what you seek
My whole stock is guaranteed
And the first look is always free
Of course,
They needn’t be your thoughts-
I’ve many more
That others have brought
Bought, or traded;
Even some I’ve finely wrought
Myself
Do you seek to become another?
Feel the touch of a forgotten lover?
I promise you, you’ll find no other
Who’s wares compare to mine!
Or would you rather sell a few?
Things best forgotten, never viewed
Tortured by some inner pain
Torn by guilt, wracked with shame
If you like, I can buy your bane
Away
I can take them off your hands-
For a modest fee, naturally-
I am, you see, a business man
But I’ll take good care of them,
Trust me, trust me
I’m backed by the bar, certified
My work really is a matter of pride
You’re already at my door-
Why not come inside?
So what’ll it be
What’ll it be?
Did you spy a pretty dream?
Or think some half-forgotten memory?
What’ll it be, what’ll it be?
Have a little peek on me…
