In My Dream

I'm born to give the king an heir
And finally, my prince has come.

The taste of wine is on your breath
You didn't care to wash your face.
Not this time. Not at any time
You really cling to my embrace.

You come to me, cloaked by the night
And first you blow the candles out
And hasty fumblings banned from light
Are everything, our bond's about.
So that's the love, your wife deserves
What feels like cruel childrens scheme?
You come by night
Turn out the light
And I...I close my eyes
And dream.

Refrain I:
And in my dream I shine for you
And you...you hold me close.
Yes, in my dream I am the one
You want
The one you chose!
Oh, in my dream you love me
For the many things, I've got.
But only in my dream
I need not pay for what I'm not.

I never worried 'bout the flaw
The purple mark, disgracing me
Because the day my prince would come
It would be only me, he'd see

And I obey. I do, what I'm told
I'm going to carry out that task
I'll stay right here, locked in my room
But I so wish, someone would ask

If that's the life a queen deserves
To make her hide inside the shades
You look away
No word you say
And my illusion slowly fades

Refrain II:
But in my dream I look at you
And you smile back at me
Yes, in my dream, it's Nalia
And not the mark, you see
Yes, in my dream you save me
From the laughter of your friends
But that is just a dream.
It isn't, how my story ends.

BRIDGE:
And then, you're gone again and I
I find myself trapped in the dark
An empty bed and empty eyes
And all this just because I'm marked?
But there's my dream where you see ME
And not the beauty, that I lack
You see: there's more than meets the eye
And then you gladly kiss me back.

Refrain III:
And in my dream I think of you
As if you really cared

As if there ever had been more
Than just a bed we'd shared In dreams you face your demons
You don't just drown them in red wine
Only in my dreams
You see the flaw's not only mine.
