they told me all the dreams are over
they told me just you better cry
leave behind the hall of wonders
no more room for little lies
no more sand men in the castles
no more shadows on the wall
the giants are all quiet
no more footsteps in the hall
but the blue dog often lingers
you can see him in the night
the blue dog has a presence
but he vanishes in light
goodbye to corner people
goodbye to turning men
say goodbye to what's becoming
say goodbye again, again
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
i heard him barking in the kitchen
stuck behind the maze of jars
there are cobwebs in this vision
beneath a canopy of stars
the ceiling was a great pretender
it opened up and i was high
now the universe delivers
we are all up in the sky
hello
hello
hello
what is this up in the sky?
they put trinkets in the pantry
where the cans all used to sit
ballerinas and tin soldiers
they never move a bit
into gardens in the backyard
into the secret places there
little children in their dramas
say goodbye, they are not there
goodbye to corner people
goodbye to turning men
say goodbye to what's becoming
say goodbye again, again
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
they told me all the dreams are over
they told me just you better cry
leave behind the hall of wonders
no more room for little lies
no more sand men in the castles
no more shadows on the wall
the giants are all quiet
no more footsteps in the hall
but the blue dog often lingers
you can see him in the night
the blue dog has a presence
but he vanishes in light
