"Better Than the Dream"

On a harvest's eve

Of tomorrow's needs
A vision floats sleepily by

A dreamer looks up

Sips from a tin cup
And watches a fire in the sky

The castles burn

And the dreamer learns
That everything is not what it seems

Awakened by a kiss

Seeing a face that she's missed
Realizing that reality is far better than the dream
