I Dreamed She Was the Universe Lyrics

I was caught alone trading tulips for a rose
I thought no one would mind if I would take it from the night
if I would give it to the daylight
But oh naïve was I and my truth became a lie
to the villagers of town who loved to trade what's right
for sensation and delight
Oh when I dreamed she was the Universe
daylight was I
and when I dreamed she was the Universe
I gave up my fights.
My fights.
"No flower ever thrived in the dark or in the night"
I would love to shout that out, but the people they knew too much,
to care for flower buds
Dim prison in which I sleep, you are the vision that I dreamed
the town she became my bride and she expanded time by time
and when we married I faked our smiles
Oh when I dreamed she was the Universe
daylight was I
And when I dreamed she was the Universe
I turned on the lights
The lights.
