Maggie Reilly - Caitlin's Dream (Summer Birds Are Leaving) Lyrics

Send "Caitlin's Dream (Summer Birds Are Leaving)" ringtone to your cell

What doleful thoughts an absence brings

When one's so tired from longing

Thoughts banished in the daylight hours

At night time come a thronging.

The daily round of village life

No patience has for grieving.

The days grow short, the nights are long,

The summer birds are leaving.

Last night in dreams you were enrobed

Like Valentino's sheikh

Haremed girls lay languidly

On carpets at your feet,

And with each word

A tiny pearl tripped from your lips and fell

On desert ground. It rained today,

The children are all very well.

By boat and plane and camel train

I journeyed to your side.

One of your guards asked me my name

I swore I was your bride,

But unconvinced I had to beg

For them to let me through.

The Williams's send their regards.

Your friends at Browns ask after you.

I took your hand imploringly

As you lay in that tent

Seemingly ignoring me,

Despairing, patience spent.

I roared and screamed

And shook my fists beneath a desert moon.

The bills pile up as usual,

Please send a little money soon.

I cried let's leave this place my love,

A horse outside is waiting.

I'll carry you across the stream

From fame and fortune fleeting.

Then a skein of geese flew o'er the house,

The thunder of their wings

Awoke me from my dawn dark dreams,

What doleful thoughts an absence brings
