She is dreaming of her Adonis, He¹s a tall and handsome man He works somewhere in the city For a dealer from Japan And he will often bring her flowers And occasionally they'll dine In a small familiar restaurant Where they pass a pleasant time.
And his heart's desire is that the flame And fire of their love will never die And if sometimes she feels a little down at heel, well she knows he'll never mind For he doesn't care if her tangled hair Doesn't shine like some Mary Quant And to her it seems, this man of her dreams Is what every woman wants.
He is dreaming of a woman And her hair is fiery red And it tumbles on her pillow, Where she's lying in their bed She will give her love completely, There's abandon in her arms There's a recklessness embracing And submission in her charms.
And she doesn't mind if he's feeling tired, When he comes home late from work Or if all his plans fail, she'll understand For she knows his pride is hurt And she'll not compare, no she wouldn¹t dare And she'll never tease or taunt And of her, he dreams, 'cause she makes him feel, He¹s what every woman wants.
Well then he looks up from his paper And he catches in her eyes Some sweet sparkle of remembrance that he barely recognise If she knew what he'd been thinking, Or if his thoughts to her were clear In his heart a pain is aching, On her cheek there falls a tear.
And the spoken word that they seldom heard, Starts to flow like a crystal stream And the whispered prayer that they'd lost to care, Starts to banish alll those dreams And the loving touch, that they missed so much, What they really knew all along Was in their Father's hand, it was always planned, They¹d have everything they want.
And with downcast eye they will realise All those wasted, wanting times Where a hostage made to a debt once paid By the loving heart of Christ And as His Spirit flows in their hearts they know, They won't need those dreams that haunt For in His eyes they see they'll never need, He is everything they want.
