The Libertine's Dream Lyrics - Marc Almond

On a bed of silken sheets he lay his head 

The pillow edged in gold and red 

A palace in his prison walls 

A feast for all, there's really only bread 

Those walls shut out the world 

Leaving him to conjure up his own instead 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

A fantasy of sumptuous sensuality 

His reality 

Where only straw the more his mind hallucinates 

Creates desire and fire

His thoughts pour out upon the page 

His thirst is never quenched, never tired 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

And dreams 

He builds himself a fortress 

Fills it with the lusty, beautiful and wise 

Fantasy to fantasy 

His kingdom is a playground for desire 

And he the king within his walls 

Deliberately locks the world outside 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

He dreams, he dreams, he dreams, he dreams 

And dreams 

And dreams 

All the mind divine 

A cornucopia of pleasure in his mind 

But just a little sad for all these things he had 

He waits and serves his time 

With a wicked gleam he tastes his freedom 

And sets out to realise 

His dreams, his dreams, his dreams, his dreams 

His dreams 

(repeat to fade)
