I dream of elephants,
Great blue elephants in the night
I ride astride their great blue backs
and below me the world seems so small.
Every year the men grow smaller and smaller
but the elephants remind me that in spite of their best efforts,
giants still walk the earth
and the small men forget
but I still dream of elephants
