The comfort of sleep
The call of my dreams
Where all as you know it
Is not as it seems

I like it here very much
I hope I never leave
All are welcome to visit this place
Just one thing I ask, please believe

Enter this humble place of mine
Keep me company
Because the sadness in my heart
Is a sadness you can’t see

I’ve been alone these many years
Waiting for someone to come by
Hug me once or maybe twice
And present a handkerchief to dry my teary eye.

My wish has not come true this day
I see not any person to call my guest
No lost, ill-mannered passer-by
To this isolated institution I’ve been blessed

This is my life
A world within a dream
Where all as you know it
Is not as it seems

Though I strike you as unhappy
Because of the grievance I’m showing
My heart went numb so long ago
My river of tears stopped flowing

Because of this world within a dream
Where all as I knew it is not as it seems.
