Sweet dreams, my princess;
May your imagination lead you
To all of the places I couldn't take you
When your eyes shown bright in the sunlight.

But now I fear I've squandered everything.
I waited too waited too long.
Take my mistakes and make something of them.
Run into the wind
And do what I could never,
Not even for you.

"Come home..."
Rain pours down on me.
"Please..."
