you said our dream house would be perfect
i said of course it would be
we would plant irises and lilacs in our back yard
it was a dreamyou said our dream house would be free
i said free from misery
we would plant poppies and asters in our back yard
it was a dreamyou said our dream house would be cute
i said the people in it will be cute
we would plant violets and saffrons in our back yard
it was a dreami said our dream house would be curious
you said curious and curiouser
we would plant tulips and daisies in our back yard
it was a dreami said our dream house would be pretty
you said just like me
we would plant orchids and jasmines
it was a dreami said our dream house would be magnificent
you said it was the story of us
we would plant heathers and bluebells
it was a dream
