IV. DREAMS
One night I climbed a mountain all of snow,
A great black creature showed me where to go:
We went into a church with no one there,
And cried because the wind began to blow.
A great black creature showed me where to go:
We went into a church with no one there,
And cried because the wind began to blow.
And then a King that wore a golden crown
Climbed up the spire and tried to help me down,
But I spread out my arms, and flew and flew,
And all the people watched us from the town.
Climbed up the spire and tried to help me down,
But I spread out my arms, and flew and flew,
And all the people watched us from the town.
They chased me through the streets, but I ran fast,
And got into a secret place at last.
I 'd float down stairways, touching just my toes,
And laugh and mock at them as I went past
And got into a secret place at last.
I 'd float down stairways, touching just my toes,
And laugh and mock at them as I went past
And then we went to Cinderella's ball,
I had no shoes nor stockings on at all:
They smiled and pointed at me till I cried,
And woke up just as when you slip and fall.
I had no shoes nor stockings on at all:
They smiled and pointed at me till I cried,
And woke up just as when you slip and fall.
