Transpose 7 semitones down for the original key (C)
Verse 1:
If you try to catch me, you'll be the first to lose
Freedom can be lonely, loneliness makes me think
Still I'd rather (be on) my own, then put into a cage
So if you try to catch me, I'm already far away...
I'm far away, I'm far away..
Chorus:
I am a dream you cannot catch, I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get paid, we fade away when ladybirds turn gray
Verse 2:
Not even you can bring life back from death 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?
Chorus:
I am a dream you cannot catch, I am your dream I can never be
We fade away when ladybirds get paid, we fade away when ladybirds turn gray
Verse 3:
The freckles on the lips seem too much too 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 don't know why
my lips are marked with freckles all over
my lips are marked with freckles all over...All over
Chorus (2x):
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 gray
