In the crystal springs
A midsummer's dream
Up and over the gates
Where rhododendrons ring

Under serpens skies
Filled with dragonflies
Love-in-idleness collects
Around your eyes

The cicadas hum
They're in love with everyone
The water runs
Under weeping willow trees

With a pocketknife
Two names inscribed
You could hold it to my throat
You could take my life

Oh, when you call my name
I can feel you
In my veins
Oh, when you make me cry
I feel helpless
There's nothing like it

I feel helpless
There's nothing like it

In the crystal springs
A midsummer's dream
An easy melody
That can't be ignored
Can't be transcribed
Can't be written down
That can't be denied
