When I Sleep, I See Clearly When it rains, I dance alone Dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales There's a sea lock in turmoil And a piece of scarlet sky A bird does a somersault And branches sprout from a bush The pirate's house Is a wide sunflower When it rains, I dance alone Dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales When I'm rich, I feel mischievous By the pond below the threshing floor I dress as an old man And I woo the farm girl And between pine trees and underbrush I plant my flag With a sharp needle I slay the monster that I don't speak of When I'm rich, I feel mischievous By the pond below the threshing floor When I sleep, I see clearly Drunk from a sweet potion With pearls in each hand I live in the heart of a seashell I only know the spring in the countryside And the lair of the savage Or the moon that sharpens As it disappears beyond the ridge When I sleep, I see clearly Drunk from a sweet potion When it rains, I dance alone Dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales There's a sea lock in turmoil And a piece of scarlet sky A bird does a somersault And branches sprout from a bush The pirate's house Is a wide sunflower When it rains, I dance alone Dressed in seaweed, gold, and scales When I'm rich, I feel mischievous By the pond below the threshing floor I dress as an old man And I woo the farm girl And between pine trees and underbrush I plant my flag With a sharp needle I slay the monster that I don't speak of When I'm rich, I feel mischievous By the pond below the threshing floor When I sleep, I see clearly Drunk from a sweet potion With pearls in each hand I live in the heart of a seashell I only know the spring in the countryside And the lair of the savage Or the moon that sharpens As it disappears beyond the ridge When I sleep, I see clearly Drunk from a sweet potion
