I Had a Dream of You Again Last Night

I had a dream of you last night
It's silly and i know
It's been 6 years or so
Still i wake up some days
Thinking it's you
Fumbling in the kitchen
Pleading, no beckoning me to pry open a jar for you

A cacophony of city noise scrapes against my ear
Makes me feel less alone
And you hated the sound of pollution
And I agreed
But I can't stand the silence, not anymore

And the no vacancy sign lights up
We're standing in the parking lot
We cast no shadows in the night
And you are close enough for me to throw my arms around you
But a sheepish modesty takes hold – of me
As we stare into the bright neon light
Waiting for the no to turn... off

After all these years it still makes me blush
But all I ever mustered was to make you flush
Though it tears me apart
I'd rather feel torn than nothing at all
For in the seams of your tears, there you'll find
The most precious spice of life

I told you I wasn't sentimental
I lied, and you knew it
— I danced with fire, I know

Because despite the cold in my ways
I am human and my blood craves warmth
Oh, summer's on the phone, on hold
Oh, summer can wait
For soon is never soon enough —
And you still turn me on
You know I never need to plunder long to find you

A gust of wind knocks me down
It's winter and I realize that —
Summer has passed me by
Oh well, In restless dreams
I dream on
Forever

O mother, won't you kick me out of bed
My tomb, my wed
O heaven, I hang my head
On an icy bed
