Dream of places far away

Dream of Places Far Away

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.
