quixotic dreaming
-----------------
there's a place
on the other side
where true love binds
but I'm still searching for myself

there's a girl
who’s dressed in red
with eyes so blue
who led me to her quiet view

not ready to be here
unsteady when she's near

suddenly
she paints the sky
with delicate hands
is she dreaming of
quixotic lands

leading me upstairs
where limbs like serpents tied us down
gripping each other to keep warm

not ready to be here
unsteady when she's near

defences fall down like a towel
no protection from showers
that rain down from the clouds

when you’re all alone
you reach out for the first thing to hold
then it leaves you tired and cold

not ready to be here
unsteady when she's near
and all I feel is fear

morning light
illuminates bare skin
but I'm still searching for myself
