The Fantasist Lyrics by Sunday Driver

The Mutiny

2012

[Verse]
So there once was a lady at age [?]
And love console [?]
Got a store full of treasure and tales
From long ago
Two worlds apart
The moon and star
A king upon his throne
Far away in her sari she sails
In silken folds
[Chorus]
Oh the life
Oh the time
Oh the girl with the wild idea
Make a wish
And you’ll find
That a story is just a clever disguise
As we dance
To the sounds of the dervish wailing in time
Dry your eyes
In your true life of fantasy fine
[Verse]
There was music and dancing and wine
And pots of gold
But the traitor was biding his time
Or so shе told
The music sounds
The tiger roars
Thе drums begin to roll
Far away from the dreamer she sails
In silken folds
[Chorus]
Oh the life
Oh the time
Oh the girl with the wild idea
Make a wish
And you’ll find
That a story is just a clever disguise
As we dance
To the sounds of the dervish wailing in time
Dry your eyes
Into delusion of fantasy, fall into line
Half the life
Half the time
Half the girl with the wild idea
Make a wish
Dry your eyes
Let me whisper into your ear
As we turn
And we glide
To the sounds of the musical
Here we are
Make a sign
Where delusion of fantasy, fall into line
[Chorus]
Of the life
And the time
And and a girl with the wild idea
Make a wish
Close your eyes
Heaven knows what I'm doing here in your mind
As we dance
To the sounds of the dervish wailing in time
Dry your eyes
Oh your true life and fantasy fall into line
