Album: Perfecting Loneliness (2002)





In the dream that awakened me,

you had come and taken me

to a sea of stars.

The cat stood in the flowers two ears above.



And the ground that was under me

was holding me so wonderfully

on a bed of leaves

and you were here with me and we were free.



Everything we saw

was beautiful and strong,

and I knew we belonged.



Then the birds came and carried us

to the sky and married us on a bed of stars,

where I was always yours

and you were mine.



And in the long back eternity,

I love you so perfectly

in the words of clouds,

like a bird sings to his flowers and I was heard.



Everything I saw

was everything I'd want,

and this world had just begun to live.

Don't wake me up,

I can't wake up from this.



Everyone was forgiven;

made hopeful;

made living;

made winning,

tonight.



So, Captain, please consider me.

Let the boats deliver me.

When I close my eyes,

drive, captain, drive.

It's time.



For everything to be perfect,

for everything to stop hurting,

tonight.



Don't wake me up.
