Let me tell you 'bout a dream

Dream

You know I saw her in a dream

Oh St Charles sings

Sings about love

St Charles tell me tonight

Won't you tell me 'bout love

You know I saw her in a dream

There was China in her eyes

In a silk and velvet disguise

She was movin' like a lady

Lookin' like a dragon princess

She was walkin'

Walkin' by the river

Rollin' in a rhythm of love

I never felt like this before

I'll never stop I just want more

Oh St Charles sings

Sings about love

St Charles tell me tonight

Won't you tell me 'bout love

You know I saw her in a dream

I was shang-hied by her way

Hypnotized by the things she would say

In the moonlight on the water

We were like lovers in another lifetime

Woh is it only a vision

Ah it feels like a prison

Just the spell of a demon and I can't get away

Oh St Charles sings

Sings about love

St Charles tell me tonight

Won't you tell me 'bout love

Please tell me 'bout love

I saw her in a dream

Please tell me 'bout love

I know I saw her in a dream

Dream

Let me take you

To another place

Another time

Another world of people dancin' in rhyme

Dance in the air six-fingered webbed

Fair as the air

She is the storm bringer yeh

The storm changer yeh

Tie yourself down to the main mast

Tie yourself down to the main mast

Like Ulysses in the water storm

Winds comin' down the main line

Tie yourself down to the main mast

Tie it down with love

Tie it down with love

Don't you feel it stormin'

I feel it coming stormin'

I can feel it now stormin'

Don't you feel it comin' stormin'

Arhhhhhh

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'

Stormin'
