I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I lit my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But i grow old and i forget your name.
(I think i made you up inside my head.)
I should have loved a thunder bird instead;
At least when spring comes the roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think i made you up inside my head.)
