Oh Did I Love a Dream versuri

Versuri The Incredible String Band – Oh Did I Love a Dream lyrics

Bored laziness laced his lucid eyes
In corduroy suits and old-school ties
He left for France to lavish life
It rained slightly when he arrived, arrived, he arrived

The spring rushed by in ’31
Fresh daffodils and wet window sills
Girls laced and chased in chiffon frills
Imagine, rêve, ma chère

Oh did I love a dream (X2)

Upon a walk he watched the gondoliers
From his fingers a Gauloises limply glowed
His sanguine friends cheered their cheers
But she recalled her dancing how she flowed, she flowed, she flowed

The days were changing in ’31
Loss of laughter lay over the hill
And foolishly fashionable passing thrill
Imagine, rêve, ma chère

Oh did I love a dream (X2)

In Greece he saw her prancing eyes
Words from lips twirled towards her
For one brief night he held her sighs
But she leapt away in the morning air, the air, the air

The days grew bright in ’31
Hearts were light and smiles were strong
As life became a swan’s song
Imagine, rêve, ma chère

Oh did I love a dream (X2)
