We were traveling north to sing and play,
for friends that we had never met,
been working hard and didn't speak,
the sky was grey and threatened wet,
And I dreamed that I saw unicorns
dreamed I saw them wild and white,
their sudden beauty lit the world,
like a star will light a winters night.

Pure as love with mane's of milk,
they danced and pranced and cried aloud,
bright as rainbows round the stars,
their eyes were soft, and sad, and proud.

and I wept for the wild and dirty world,
to which this beauty now is lost,
and I cursed the hungry minds of man,
that feed the future at such cost,
my head was bowed my eyes were closed,
when in my ears their voices rang,
and these few words lodged deep inside,
and in my very soul they sang.

we never went away,
always knew that we were near,
remember how to look for us,
you see we were always here.

I raised my eyes to seek them out,
the world was empty all around,
and rain came tumbling from the skies,
and drowned all dreams upon the ground,
and when they asked me why i wept,
like one who for his dead love mourns,
the only answer I could give,
I dreamed that there were unicorns.

we never went away,
always knew that we were near,
remember how to look for us,
you see we were always here,

you see we were always here.
