The ribbon of dappled light loosens on your cheek You fell asleep in the middle of the page A hurried afternoon rests in my arms As you climb the staircase of dreams Your fluttering lashes tell the tale Of a morning led by the White Rabbit Barefoot Alice, dreaming Alice Entrusting your wishes to pieces of stars Slipping through the shadows of teacups You bloom in colors the world has never seen I quietly listen, holding my breath To hear your voice in the wind Barefoot Alice, my dear Alice If you should wander and tears start to fall Call my name within your heart And I will be there, always by your side It's all right to forget the rest of the dream As long as your smile returns In the flickering shade, an afternoon doze You turn in your sleep and smile into the light A single drop of dream clings to your lashes What kind of world have you traveled through? When you open your eyes, please show me The map of dreams where your footsteps led Barefoot Alice, dreaming Alice Words you dropped in the gap of time Let’s gather them one by one And speak them again with a gentle voice If there is light beyond the sleep Then I know I’ll see that smile again
