Tell me have you known the dreamer He taught me all that I know We were dancing when I met him On a burning piano You were lucky to find the dreamer On a day when the sun still shone For every day he built a landscape And traveled there all alone For those who knew the dreamer There was not a night monotone For when he crawled out of his landscape And claimed the moon as his throne Now I'm reminiscing about the dreamer And about all that he had shown For one day he wouldn't return And just like that, the dreamer was gone I wrote a requiem for a dreamer because it's all that I knew I dreamed a dream for a dreamer Cause that's what he would want me to do For those who knew the dreamer There was not a night monotone For when he crawled out of his landscape And claimed the moon as his throne For those who knew the dreamer There was not a night monotone For when he crawled out of his landscape And claimed the moon as his throne
