Sweetest Dream
I saw you in a dream and I called your name
You were miles away but I could hear you say
The things to come, the things to be
They will always be the way they've been
You were smiling while I was guessing your game
You said, 'Don't you know that it is still the same'
'That it was tomorrow'
'And it will be yesterday'
-
It's the sweetest dream
It's the sweetest dream
The band stopped to play and the folks all went home
Everything was broken and then you were alone
I was still on my feet and about to go
Lit the last cigarette, sweet jazz on the stereo
'It's not fair,' I could hear you say
'Somebody took my heart away'
'What an unpleasant case of robbery'
you said and then you looked up to me
The captain was drunk and the rats left the ship
The storm broke the planks I could not hold on to it
I was drowning, I was lost at sea
And finally gave up when I stopped to breathe
You woke me with a word, you woke me with a kiss
You said, 'It's not yet time to give up on this'
And the cold and the fear was gone
When you said, 'Follow me,' and pulled me down to the ground
