lyrics

I am a dream that someone had
That was not remembered
But appeared next morning
On top of a hill.
I’m seen at first from a distance
As a ruin on the horizon.
I’m reached by steep streets
And a walking path approaches me.
In answer to the question
Of how old I am –
I appeared sometime overnight.
I see galleons in a distant harbour
And in the near distance,
A supermarket the size of a village.
I host musicians who play on instruments
Only ever seen in paintings
I hear their ancient music float like a ghost
In the modern day air.
I warm my hands at invisible fires.
I am a dream on a hill
With windows of sky and crumbled walls.
I am someone’s idea of me.
I am my idea of someone else.
