A LOVER'S DREAMA Poem by Lou ROn the other side of this mountain There's a road I've travelled alone With nothing to keep my head up But your song beneath the summer sun So gentle in the warm breeze That blew against my face On the other side of this mountain Grew a lover's dream Sprung from a million sunsets Flew the dove on feathered wings Down to a driftwood forest Where the nightingale still sings Dreams you cherished forever Where the silent waters flow On the other side of this mountain Grew a lover's dream I watched the rising sun Cover the water with copper Reflecting in your eyes While down on the ochre seashore The seagulls swooped and fell Shining in the water Grew a lover's dream Sprung from the sky and the ocean Together in love we fell The highway that we wandered together Became our home Dreams we cherished forever Where the silent waters flow On the other side of this mountain Grew a lover's dream.
