Pull a blanket over me, I'm ready

for a long night's sleep

In black and white they'll come to

me, images I never seek

Dream away...I long to be in the back

seat of my Rolls Joyce, dream away

And as the city slips backwards, soon I'll

only hear the engine noise



It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know

I'm asleep in the shade as they pass my window

It's the priest from Nilly, it's Jo from the store

Another looks silly, never seen him before

It's a little parade



The only dream I ever had in color was

of you and me

You and me, alone in a boat on the open sea

Anchors down

We walk up to the bow

and let that anchor down

Anchors down

I love that splashing sound



It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know

I'm asleep in the shade as they pass my window

They peek through the glass of tainted blue

People that served me, people untrue

It's a little parade, here comes everyone I know

It's a harlequinade, as they pass my window

And I am the anchor, I drift low and high

Slowly transforming into a bottomless sigh

It's a little parade
