Henry Ayle, Clara Alm, The Original Cast of Slumber - Overture of a Visionary Dreamer Lyrics

Once upon a time
In a land far away
In dreams within a mind
Began a fairytale
The story of a little girl
Unable to fall asleep
Heartily fooled with broken words
Pretty lies and vivid dreams
Tangled of a fantasy
Light behind her blurry eyes
Might be in reality
A "vague perception"-state of mind
But let's set the scene for now
A little girl lying in bed
Madly fallen deep in love
With swirling thoughts inside her head
And make sure to stay awake
A little girl who's sleeping in
Tend to miss what's real or fake
And thus the story shall begin
Little girl walked to far away in a surreal world
Led astray by following a butterfly
Never thought a lie would be so easily flown…

Once upon a time

Pretty lies and vivid dreams
Tangled of a fantasy

Might be in reality
A "vague perception"-state of mind
But let's set the scene for now
A little girl lying in bed
Madly fallen deep in love
With swirling thoughts inside her head
And make sure to stay awake
A little girl who's sleeping in
Tend to miss what's real or fake
And thus the story shall begin
Little girl walked to far away in a surreal world
Led astray by following a butterfly
Never thought a lie would be so easily flown…
