Fairport Convention Part X
Sleep has surprised Mr Lee We'll creep in behind his eyes and, with his eyes, we will see Wherever he goes to, we'll be close behind We'll follow his dreams and we'll stroll in his mind Dream, dream John's in the garden all green With uniforms round him, the hound and the fox can be seen A willow tree leaving its branches to ground Is breathing in time to a bell's hollow sound Dream, dream Dream, dream Nature, their numbers have swelled The sun in the east is the lord of the feast to be held The doomed and the dutiful tread on the dew With frost on their faces and shine on their shoes Dream, dream Looking to earth and to sky John stares at John walking slowly along with a sigh The hand of a stranger takes hold of his arm A voice in his ear says "They'll do you no harm" Dream, dream Dream, dream Dream, dream
