[Verse 1]
You speak in a voice like a secret flame,
Velvet and shadows when you whisper my name.
The world bows down to the jewels that you wear,
But I see the silence that hides in your stare.
You walk through the lights of the grand boulevard,
Chasing a kingdom that carried you far.
But when the night closes in on your skin,
Tell me, my darling, where do your dreams begin?
[Chorus]
Where do your dreams begin,
When the night strips the diamonds away?
Where do your dreams begin,
When the masks of the daylight decay?
Let me drown in the storm of your mind,
Let me burn in the fire within.
Tell me again, my love…
Where do your dreams begin?
[Verse 2]
You paint your desires in silver and gold,
A canvas of fire, of stories untold.
They see just a queen with a crown made of glass,
But I know the shadow that clings to your past.
The hunger of yesterday sleeps in your bones,
The nights when you carried the dark all alone.
You rose from the ashes, you conquered the pain,
But deep in the silence, the scars still remain.
[Chorus]
Where do your dreams begin,
When the night strips the diamonds away?
Where do your dreams begin,
When the masks of the daylight decay?
Let me drown in the storm of your mind,
Let me burn in the fire within.
Tell me again, my love…
Where do your dreams begin?
[Bridge]
I see the child in the shadows of Rome,
Two hands reaching out for a life of their own.
We swore we would run, we would rise, we would fly,
But you traded the earth for a kingdom of sky.
Still, when the silence wraps soft ‘round your bed,
I know the voices still sing in your head.
And though the world only sees your disguise,
I know the fire still burns in your eyes.
[Chorus – lifted higher]
Where do your dreams begin,
When the night strips the diamonds away?
Where do your dreams begin,
When the masks of the daylight decay?
Let me drown in the storm of your mind,
Let me burn in the fire within.
Tell me again, my love…
Where do your dreams begin?
[Outro – fading, whispered]
I know where your dreams begin…
I’ve seen the scars you never show.
I know the fire that surrounds you,
I’ve lived inside the shadows you know.
And though the world may never find you,
I’ll love the soul you cannot disguise.
Tell me once more, my love…
Where do your dreams begin?
