Hole In My Shoe Lyrics

I looked in the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)

I walked through a field
That just wasn't real
With one hundred tin soldiers
Which stood at my shoulder
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)

(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year 'round
And music played ever so loudly)

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
Had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)

If this song is about something OTHER than LSD, will someone please tell me?

@mbrachman Just read on FB that "Song Facts says that It was the first attempt at writing a song by Dave Mason and that it was just random thoughts and that he hadn't even tried LSD at the time." However, I would say it depicts a dream or psychedelic experience.
