I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again back.
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 it's your name I forget.
I think I made you up inside my head.
I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar again back.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
I think I made you up inside my head.
