[Verse 1] Lanterns swinging from a painted wagon Smoke curls Colors on the canvas flap You laugh Stealing sugar from the popcorn stand Bare feet tracing circles in the gravel and grass [Chorus] What if it was a dream Gypsy caravan between the trees Magic lights on crooked poles Making shadows out of you and me What if it was a dream Just a story that the forest told When the branches bend and breathe Singing softly “let it go” [Verse 2] A tightrope strung between two tired birches Old brass coins stitched into your sleeve Fortune cards laid on a wine-stained table Every turn another way to leave [Chorus] What if it was a dream Gypsy caravan between the trees Magic lights on crooked poles Making shadows out of you and me What if it was a dream Just a story that the forest told When the branches bend and breathe Singing softly “let it go” [Bridge] Hear that far-off song Or do you Is it them Or just the wind Rustling like pages in a secret language Saying “start again Start again” (woah) [Chorus] What if it was a dream Gypsy caravan between the trees Magic lights on crooked poles Making shadows out of you and me What if it was a dream Just the forest playing make-believe When the last light disappears Were we ever really seen
