In my dreams I am a dancer
Telling stories without these stubborn words
They sail from my mouth like ships out of harbors
They're so damn heavy and most times
Never heard
In my dreams it's after midnight
And I'm running by the sea
The very birds that tease me in real life
Well they, they pick me up this time and they carry me
They carry me
In my dreams I am a cowgirl
I ride my horse with no hands
She just knows which way we're heading
If she lays down then I, I understand
So we ride into the mountains
And we find the highest peak
I look up to meet my Maker
But he, well he comes down this time
And he is talkin' with me, he talks with me
I often wonder
If I had
No scrapes on my shoulder
If I had
Never gotten older who would I be
I often wonder
If I had
Always gotten closure
If my glass
Always runneth over
Would it taste like milk and honey
In my dreams I'm in Connemara
And I'm rowing on the lake
All my friend's are sitting on the shoreline
Just having a picnic
On this cloudy day
And for the first time in forever
They all see what I have seen
No need to tell them about the outside
Cause they, they already know what I mean
I often wonder
If I had
No scrapes on my shoulder
If I had
Never gotten older who would I be
I often wonder
If I had
Always gotten closure
If my glass
Always runneth over
Would it taste like milk and honey
In my dreams we're all whole again
And my mom is walking fine
And my dad sleeps well at night
And we're all taking our time
