about

They came from everywhere
And paid to see
Billy...
And his Chest of Dreams
They gave him everything they had
Because they had no dreams
To call their own

That’s what you get
When the feeling runs out
That’s all that’s left for the Clowns
Follow the Acrobats
Back to their weight
Follow the elephant tails

He strode the Forests of the Night
To catch their Dreams
And hold them tight
And the ones that longed
To remain free
Were ever such elusive beasts

He gave a quick enchanted peek
To Millie...
And her Destiny
And emptied out his chest to keep
The only dream he’d ever need
