Fikus dreamed a dream for me
It cost me nothing it was free
He dreamed of walking in the sand
Of blossoms forming in his hand
Of kitchen cake and cedar shakes
Of waterfalls and yellow snakes
Of earthen dams and hydrofoils
Of watching water 'til it boils
Of holding forth from singing words
Of flying south with flocks of birds
None of this was charged to me
For as I said it was for free
It cost me nothing it was free
He dreamed of walking in the sand
Of blossoms forming in his hand
Of waterfalls and yellow snakes
Of earthen dams and hydrofoils
Of watching water 'til it boils
Of flying south with flocks of birds
None of this was charged to me
For as I said it was for free

he's dreaming about a fikus plant in the dessert wishing it was at f00l bl00m.
I can understand what the first verse is about. Someone, possibly a significant other gave him something, or did something for him, without want of compensation. Just because she wanted to. The rest of the song is describing what she did for him.
