lyrics

Arlene, Arlene
search the night in a dream
Dream, Arlene
sweet charms unseen

Splendid little creatures
bounding and unfound
will them with your wish to draw near

Search, Arlene
when you wake you will dream

Softly falls the sweet song of your call
ears tilt fear
softly hides ever near

Green leaves in your fingers
whistle through your teeth
stepping, turning, looking underneath

Soft you call
gentle beasts to enthrall

Arlene, Arlene
you were born to a dream
child and queen of a world unseen
singling all the layers
piercing through the fates
dashing all that reason fabricates
sleep, Arlene
when you dream you will wake
