lyrics
I had a dream about you,
It swept me under the rug
I couldn’t get close enough
To tell you of all that I loved
Now I go to sleep just in case
I might get to see you again
Huddled at the bookstore or
Crouched down in the pews
I remember growing manic when she called me with the news.
You’ve been fading,
Don’t tell me it’s for the best
If everything’s possible and can be,
Beneath that shell a dried up pea,
Agreed, that if you are and you have been,
then you will have been forever
Now I’m trying to shake some sense
Into the way things are
Why dreams don’t smell or feel like wind
But shadows chasing close behind
Why in my heart and haggard mind
I see Indigo sails of you
And I’ve learned the meaning of excruciating,
It stepped out of your diagnosis
You said “I’ve put on the gown of it, opened at the back”,
well I watched you wheeled around by it, off into that sea of black
and so Love is so much more than
ever having to mention
If everything is possible and can be,
Beneath that shell a dried out pea
Agreed, that if you are and you have been,
Then you will have been forever
