lyrics

Percy Shelley 1792-1822

You’re so dreamy, you’re so dreamy Percy Shelley
I wonder if you notice me at all
Sometimes I see you with your paper boats, along the river
And sometimes I raise my hand to say hello

He writes poetry on his hands and sleeves and
Tiny scraps of paper that he tucks away
In places only crows and lovers know
One time I saw him walking in the hills
Above our town
His hands were filled with purple flowers
On his head, a flower crown

You’re so dreamy, you’re so dreamy Percy Shelley
I wonder if you notice me at all
Sometimes I see you with your paper boats, along the river
And sometimes I raise my hand to say hello

His hours and days were short and
You could almost hear the ticking
Of the clock as it ran down upon his
Time to be among us.
In pursuit of love and beauty
He lit every darkened corner with a lamp
That fine illumined all the beauty that he saw.

Oh the wild west wind is blowing
May it sing your name forever
In the hearts of friends and strangers
May you stay forever lovely
