THE INSTITUTE OF DREAMS


Human nature beams for all to see, the story now unfolds 
As they wonder into wonderland, their lives the starring role 
He makes his move so carefully, as he takes her by the hand 
He whispers that he loves her, so she fails to understand 
Strolling loves, angelic passages, with visions crystal clear 
He demonstrates his love for her; she hides away her fears 
He showers her with prizes; she’s the first in his love life! 
He piles on the emotions, but she don’t want to be his wife 
You and I will build a dream together, give me your heart I will love forever 
When I hold your hand, I start to understand 
What they mean when they say love, what we mean when we say love 

Well now you really better love me so, or I will hate your guts! 
Your mine all mine, no ifs, or buts, no one else must ever touch 
And to you I now give all my heart, as I knew I would right from the start 
Our gold band now engages us within the institute of dreams 

They ride the path towards married bliss, but something’s just not right 
Those visions now seem so distorted, they disagree and fight 
Both now miss their freedom, but this contract they have created 
In acceptance with society’s morals, a tradition that’s so dated 
Looking back in time, she thinks what's life got in store from here 
Confused, twisted, sick inside, he drowns in another beer 
With tears in eyes, he walks away, he convinced that, that is that! 
But absences make the heart grow fonder, and now he begs her to come back 

She finds a man to compensate, he wins at home, she plays away 
It’s been going on a while now? All seems lost is it too late? 
But meanwhile he is out there finding solace with another 
She holds sweet truth, he keeps dark secrets, she looks, he knows he loves her 
But he also dreams up images of all the thoughts of her he has missed 
They patch it up for the umpteenth time as this tale takes another twist 

Loves a never-ending question always asking why is it wrong? 
To hold love and feelings for more than one and well, that’s another song
