Paul Kelly - Nothing But A Dream lyrics

High on a hill, deep in a forest At the end of a lonely road Inside a house of New Zealand timber Lives a young queen all on her own She took me in and did her healing And said 'You can stay if you know when to go But don't take too much when you start your stealing Just a little's enough-you're the one who should know' You will fall, you will fall Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems You will fall, you will fall Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream She sat me down at her dark piano And said 'Can you play me that old Spanish song? I know a verse and all of the chorus But there's just one chord I keep getting wrong' She threw down three coins and said 'There's a purpose In all that we do, every fall of a leaf Now drink from this cup, I made you a potion And lay yourself down and get you some sleep' You will fall, you will fall Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems You will fall, you will fall Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream I woke to the sound of somebody strumming She held in her hands a parlour guitar She said 'If you like this song that I'm strumming Take it with you, it's only a prayer' You will fall, you will fall Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems You will fall, you will fall Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream
