The raindrops glowed still brighter
From the shadow of the moon
The tulips twinkled with laughter
For dawn was to come soon
–
Farther north there was a rock
Beside a lonely sea
And as I thought to stand and walk
The mermaid smiled at me
–
Her bright eyes shone with mystery
Thus sadly she said
All you see, what you believe
The world surely is instead
–
You see that bright star in the sky?
It watched over you today
But as it saw your guilt and lies
It quickly turned away
