“I Start This Story As If It Were A Dream”
I start this story as if it were a dream
you and me lying together breathing heavy
dripping sweat and lust locked inside my room
promises drift between our lips both swearing swearing
that ‘I love you more’ and the reply ‘That ain’t possible’
I’ll work up the courage somehow to sing softly in your ear
true love really waits yeah that’s a fact I know
because I waited for you and I helped you
when you were falling faster than he could care to catch you
I was at the bottom of the well waiting with a ladder and some matches
to meekly light your way and carry you back up the to top
and everyday is the same at least it is for me
I do my best to make sure as best I can that you are happy
that you are warm that you are safe and you are loved
because you are loved more deeply than flowers love the sun
I start this story as if it were a dream
and if it really is a dream well I wouldn’t be surprised
because this seems so unreal no no no you cannot be real
are you really here or did I dream you into existence my dear
I think it must be the latter because no one like you ever has lived
or ever is going to live no not possible on this earth
now reach out and take my hand in your own
then lay your sweet head down and let my run my hands
run my hands through your hair and across your face
I start this story as if it were a dream
and if there were a ‘god’ I would pray that he never let me wake up
take me away while I sleep and let me keep this dream in my head
for the first time I feel alive so alive so alive
I start this story as if it were a dream
and waking would be a nightmare
waking would be a nightmare…….
