chorus - And I'd dream
Of the violet-eyed girl
With a song in her mouth
And a place in my mind
A song I could never forget
And not remember when I rise
-----------------
bridge - My violet-eyed girl
My violet-eyed girl
Oh my violet-eyed girl
Has the key to my mind
In Jacob's dream
Jacob's dream
Oh, Jacob's dream
Yes, Jacob's dream
My violet-eyed girl
Holds the key to my mind
As I wake from
Jacob's dream
And they open to see
A land in my mind
With no ending
I gaze to the north
To the sea in the sky
As I walk across water
That's burning
I head for the shore
And I cast out to sea
A boat filled
With all my emotions
And I looked to my heart
For the violet-eyed girl
To teach me a song
That would save me
-----------------
chorus - (instrumental)
----------------
The watchman cried out
As he called to the King
Asking if He'd be
Alone
But the king has no ears
And He walked to the west
So I fell to my knees
'Fore the Lord
And I cried for release
From this dream I am in
Turning my mind
Into circles
In a field of white doves
And a hill of black roses
Ready for a life
I've not lived yet
