He came to me

in a dream

so dark

that my heart was a bob on a mighty river



He sang out from

the mountains above

he said, "don't be deceived by the ones you love."



I'm dog-eared but forgotten

twist my words and serve them up

on the backs of the broken-hearted

when they rise they'll throw you off.



I thought to cry

but I found

my eyes

had been lost with my heart to the mighty river.



I stood alone

by the thundering sea

he said, "It don't mean a thing if you can't be free."



I'm dog-eared but forgotten

twist my words and serve them up

on the backs of the broken-hearted

when they rise they'll throw you off.



He came to me

in a dream

so dark.
