THE CRUELLEST DREAM

THE CRUELLEST DREAM
Did you remember me that morning
The things that I said
As the sun crept up your body
As you lay in your bed
Well my feet barely touched the ground
In the daylight the night time sound
That enveloped my tired and weary head

Awakened by a sunrise a glow of delight
And I knew that I had kissed you, I knew it felt right
While I deciphered the way it seemed
I had cried at the cruellest dreams
And you enlightened my soul with mouth to mouth

While I followed you excited, I wasn’t prepared
For the energies created, the things that we shared
I began to believe in you
From the forests of love anew
Comes the screaming of heart’s desire released

But my symbols were distorted, your eyes held the truth
Had I looked I would have noticed the sign of his hoof
My invocation was part undone as I cried for the setting sun
And the mother I held the love frowned down
