Paroles de Dream within a dream

Here i stand amid the roar
Of a surf tormented shore
And i hold within my hand
Grains of a golden sand
How few how yet they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While i weep, while i weep

Oh god can i not grasp
One with a tighter clasp
Oh god can i not save
One from the pitiless wave
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
But a dream, but a dream

Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from you now
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
But a dream, but a dream
