Nothing But a Dream

High on a hill, deep in a forest

At the end of a lonely road

Inside a house of New Zealand timber

Lives a young queen all on her own

She took me in and did her healing

And said 'You can stay if you know when to go

But don't take too much when you start your stealing

Just a little's enough-you're the one who should know'

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream

She sat me down at her dark piano

And said 'Can you play me that old Spanish song?

I know a verse and all of the chorus

But there's just one chord I keep getting wrong'

She threw down three coins and said 'There's a purpose

In all that we do, every fall of a leaf

Now drink from this cup, I made you a potion

And lay yourself down and get you some sleep'

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream

I woke to the sound of somebody strumming

She held in her hands a parlour guitar

She said 'If you like this song that I'm strumming

Take it with you, it's only a prayer'

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems

You will fall, you will fall

Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream
