The Dream

It's evening and the wine on the table is calling my name
It's always the same
The dream of pleasure again
There's a warm sense of peace that I feel as I drink that wine
But there's so much on the line
And I let go every time
If only I could see all those dreams that I've been feeling
Maybe I'd feel
Like those dreams are somehow real
When I awaken to a bright and early morning
The promise of the day
Is the dream of life on it's way

And the love from yesterday's dream
Still keeps my company
That piece of time you shared with me
Lights me up for all to see
But then the dream gets all confused by too many stories
To really be free
Is to let go of the dream

There's a hunger inside that constantly needs to be fed
But it's all in my head
Words that don't need to be said
There's a wanting that drives me down the road to the bright lights of town
But the pleasures I found
Can't stop this train on which I'm bound

And the love from yesterday's dream
Still keeps my company
That piece of time you shared with me
Lights me up for all to see
But then the dream gets all confused by too many stories
To really be free
Is to let go of the dream

And up ahead flashing lights cast pretty colors onto a scene
But until we get there we'll never really know what it means
And up ahead a distant howling wind from a storm that's rolling by
Casts a picture of blinding rain onto a sunny sky

And the love from yesterdays dream
Still keeps my company
That piece of time you shared with me
Lights me up for all to see
But then the dream gets all confused by too many stories
To really be free
Is to let go of the dream
To really be free
Is to let go of the dream
