lyrics

I’ve seen you in my dreams
more and more with every passing month,
always near, but never close enough to touch.

You never speak. your movement’s slow,
like I’m thumbing through a book,
trying to animate the pictures of you
doing something ordinary.

Just before I wake up,
I realize there’s no way you could be here
so I try hard to stay asleep,
but morning takes you away.

And I think,
there goes the day, there goes the week.
Going back to sleep only means another dream.
I lie like a hostage in my bed.

I start my day and I wait
for the grief to pass me by
‘til next time that I climb in my bed.
And all these miles that I’ve flown from my home
never made me feel as grown up
as when you were proud of me.

I’ve seen you...
