Terrible Dream
(Jake Newton)
August 18, 2009
I had a terrible dream that you had died,
Friends and family were gathered by my side
For a kiss and then a cry
And to say their last goodbyes
Feeling so numb I couldn’t move
I just let the rain fall straight through my one good suit
I fought the cold with a shuffling of my arm
And heard the whispers I fear he’s gonna do himself harm
What is this thing in me
That when your gone I can hardly speak
Without your love the world is void of everything
If you are gone then there is nothing
So I propose a pact between you and me
When it comes the time to leave our old bodies
We go together, Go together
See I’ve already lived one of your wakes
I think another is more than I can take
And that’s only fair, Only fair
What is this thing in me
That when your gone I can hardly speak
Without your love the world is void of everything
If you are gone then there is nothing
I had a terrible dream that you had died
Friends and family were gathered by my side
A kiss and then a cry, and to say their last goodbyes,
But dry my eyes it’s over now, Dry my eyes it’s over now
Wake up, wake up, all’s not lost
Cause it’s only a dream, it’s not what it seems
And you woke up next to me, and said you talk in your sleep
