The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, ___
And arbitrary blackness gallops in: ___ I fancied you’d return the way you said, ___
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. ___ But I grow old and I forget your name. ___
(I think I made you up inside my head.) ___
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed ___
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite I should have loved a thunderbird instead; ___
insane. ___ At least when spring comes they roar back
(I think I made you up inside my head.) ___ again.___
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. ___
(I think I made you up inside my head.)” ___
