Café Of The Lost Dreams (And The New Horizons)

Out on the road caught in the rain
Soaked to the bone, my dreams down the drain
To all the passers-by I must have been a sore sight
Out in the void caught in the dark
Looking around for some kind of spark
In the distance suddenly there was a faint light
 
Stepping closer I saw some kind of bar
A warm light from within, it didn’t seem far
Somebody came outside and held out a hand
A woman looking at me, I felt no fear
Like under a spell, I drew near
She had kind eyes that seemed to understand
 
“Come on in” she said, “and have a seat
Sit by the fire and warm your feet
You might want a bite to eat
Are you in for a special treat?
 
“Have
A coffee of hope that’ll make you smile
A chocolate of faith that’ll last for a while
A biscuit of strength that’ll make you go one more mile
A cake of luck to make it all worthwhile
Your misery is not as bad as it seems
You know, life is full of surprises
Welcome to the café of the lost dreams
And the new horizons.”

There was a spark and a twinkle in her eye
Some kind of magic I couldn’t define
Was she a witch, or maybe an angel?
I sipped my coffee and tasted the food
I felt my spirits and an uplifting mood
Was this a fairy place out of a fable?
 
Reluctantly I stepped outside
Surprisingly, my clothes had dried
The air was soft and warm, and I had a clear view
There were roads I hadn’t seen before
A signpost pointing towards a new shore
The sea was rough but I was going to make my way through
 
I knew out of the sudden storms could appear
They would make it hard to steer
Yet the woman’s presence is always near
Her voice echoing in my ear
 
“Have
A coffee of hope that’ll make you smile
A chocolate of faith that’ll last for a while
A biscuit of strength that’ll make you go one more mile
A cake of luck to make it all worthwhile 
Your misery is not as bad as it seems
You know, life is full of surprises
Welcome to the café of the lost dreams
And the new horizons.”

"Your misery is not as bad as it seems
You know, life is often surprising
In the end we all meet in the café of the lost dreams
And the new horizons"
