If you try to catch me You'll be the first to lose
Freedom can be lonely Loneliness makes me think
Still I'm rather on my own Than put into a cage
So if you try to catch me I'm already far away
I'm far away, I'm far away I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn grey
Not even you can bring Life back from dead twice
My eyes are tired of trying To stay dry on rainy days
I can't read your mind Even less can you read mine
Can you read mine?
Can you read mine?
I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn grey
Freckles on the lips
Seemed too much to resist
Wondering why they were stuck on my mind
I rubbed and scraped day after day
Just to get them away It struck me down, now
I do know why My lips are marked with freckles all over
My lips are marked with freckles all over All over
I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn grey
I am a dream you cannot catch
I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get pale
We fade away when ladybirds turn grey
