today i slept and dreamt of you,
i saw your face and heard your tune,
everything was silent and we were still,
the sweetness of your presence, how unreal.
you pulled me aside, you had something to say,
and i was shy, but you went on anyway,
'i know all about the war in your head.
and all the pretty words that's been left unsaid'.
oh joy, such joy, that leapt in my heart,
that our chasm be gone, no distance apart,
but deep inside with an aching heart,
i awoke with sorrow, and am back at the start.
why O God, why reproach me,
have i not all this while fulfilled my duty,
dream after dream i take as a blessing,
but alas, despair comes in the morning.
