Ghost over autumn Caught adrift in a gale Sunk to the bottom With the ship I let sail Never once did what the story books said And it's lifting the window inside of my head It never will be like the fairy tale was Make-believe doing the best that it does Cellophane Reverie I'm seein' right through Cellophane Reverie I know it is true Cellophane Reverie Believing it most Love what I cannot see Leave for a fantasy Grieve as a ghost Open a window See that it's light Closing the shutter Permanent night Up in the attic with a circular saw Cutting up photos like I'm breakin' a law Out of the picture book, off of the page Always the hero, but never the sage What you remember Is who to forget Love isn't certain So love who you get Blow on the ember Whenever its cold Speak through the curtain Embrace what you hold Cellophane Reverie I'm seein' right through Cellophane Reverie I know it is true Cellophane Reverie Believing it most Love what I cannot see Leave for a fantasy Grieve as a ghost
