Like a dream seen awake

Blush in the dusk as fragile as a daisy chain

As cold as the first touch of the morning ocean

As red as the tips of your fingers by the fire

Like a dream seen awake

As the sun sets our eyes land on two magpies in the garden

And you know what that means, don't you, darling

It means joy

Like a dream awake

Like a dream seen awake

The stillness makes us panic just a little at first

My daughter's blowing bubbles but she laughs when they burst

Among the buttercups, the bluebells and the campion

Like a dream seen awake

Heart shaped pebbles have a habit of finding their way

Into my mother's hands

Into my mother's hands

Like a dream awake

Like a dream awake

Like a dream awake

Like a dream awake
