I dream of places far away
the sour spike of tarmac
the fresh stab of green
dream of farmhouses
in secluded valleys
by the sea
the blue sea
dream of Paris and a little bookshop
run by George its American proprietor
sitting there in his gloomy bookshop
chewing tobacco
then once a year
going on holiday
to the Grand Hotel
at Biarritz
sitting by himself
in the tearoom
sipping tea
by himself in the tearoom
drinking lemon tea
eating one man
banquets
dream of Swiss mountains
carved from the mist
and the chill cool tang
when you come out
of the sunlit valleys
into the cool darkness
dream of wooden huts
under sunny summits
dreaming, dreaming ...
dream of trim cottages
beside canals
dream of far monasteries
where bells hum and toll
dream of cemeteries
between pine trees
dream of water
hazy ships on the water
dream of the city’s evening throng
the busy night-time of great cities
dream of places far away
dream of places far away.
