Nellie McKay - If I Ever Had a Dream

If I ever had a dream
I would dream of sunny skies of blue
Clover 'neath the fields of cream
Bougainvillea and the roses too

The wind is a symphony
Flowing low across the silver sea
He'll sway on a summer breeze
Twinkling shadows from a canopy

No arms to hold you down
Your own dear nature will see you through
If I ever had a dream
It would be for you

If I ever had a wish (if she ever had wish)
Butterflies and bumble bees would play (buzz buzz woooh)
Purple moonbeams on the mist (purple moonbeams on the mist)
Crowds of calla lilies show the way (this way)

Bush, bramble and burbling streams
Gurgling gently down a berth of green
How mirthful a melody
Sunlight playing on the water's glean (lovely)

Somewhere the heart can roam
Far from the damage that some can do
If I ever had a dream (if she ever had a dream)
It would be for you

Somewhere the heart can roam
Far from the damage that some can do
If I ever had a dream
It would be for you
