dreaming of you dreaming of me

nursery rhyme about leaving people behind

Dreaming of you dreaming of me

 

I went home sober

And I felt my mind bending

Our history is over

And I saw the world ending 

 

Our hope is happily lying

With gravity pulling my heart 

Everyone I know is dying 

All of us doomed at the start

 

You get older and pick a poison

The best your money buys

You swallow what you’ve chosen 

You quietly close your eyes 

 

You want to be numb

So you take away the mystery

You’ve nothing to become

Forgotten beyond history

 

I will step over you

Wetting you with my tears

This is very hard to do

But I step beyond my fears 

 

I cannot take you with me

And I will not try

This is my path through history

Getting lost as I go by

 

I will not wait for you

While this is not a race

There is very much to do

In the moment I make haste

 

What it is you mean to me

I cannot quantify

What it is you seem to be

A truth I’m haunted by

 

I promise I will dream of you

I will see you all the time

My fantasy is my truth

I am pleased that you are fine

 

I will see you standing

And yawning at the world

I will see you walking

Your burden neatly furled

 

I will dream of us  

Together a world apart

I will dream of us

Light years from the start

 

 

You will go where I will not

You will stake your claim

You will find your love

You will get beyond the pain

  

Together we will paint this life

With our eyes and with our feet

All of both our worlds apart

Together we will sleep

 

I will dream of you

And you’ll dream of me

I love who you are

Now, just fantasy
