I
shut
my
eyes
and
all
the world drops dead; I lift
my
lids
and
all
is
born
again.
(I
think
I
made
you
up
inside
my
head.)
The
stars
go
waltzing out in blue and red,
And
arbitrary
blackness
gallops
in:
I
shut
my
eyes
and all the
world drops dead.
I
dreamed
that
you
bewitched
me
into
bed
And
sung
me
moon-struck,
kissed
me
quite
insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
God
topples
from
the
sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit
seraphim
;and
Satan's
men:
I
shut
my
eyes
and
all the world drops dead.
I
fancied
you'd
return
the
way
you
said,
But
I
grow
old
and
I
forget
your
name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
I
should
have
loved
a
thunderbird
instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
