Like a dream seen awake
Blush in the dusk as fragile as a daisy chain
As cold as the first touch of the morning ocean
As red as the tips of your fingers by the fire

Like a dream seen awake
As the sun sets our eyes land on two magpies in the garden
And you know what that means, don't you, darling
It means joy

Like a dream awake

Like a dream seen awake
The stillness makes us panic just a little at first
My daughter's blowing bubbles but she laughs when they burst
Among the buttercups, the bluebells and the campion

Like a dream seen awake
Heart shaped pebbles have a habit of finding their way
Into my mother's hands
Into my mother's hands

Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
Like a dream awake
