about

This is a bit closer to folk than what I usually write. This song really was inspired by a dream.

lyrics

I had a dream that I died
Woke up sweaty in the night born a new man
So I turned over and hugged my love
And she said tell me what you've seen

I had a tunnel that I dug
Straight through that worn down church and out to sea
And I laid down by the water on a dark, stormy night
And let the lightning find me

Oh, love, oh, did the lightning find me
And as it charred my faith and boiled my veins,
I only thought of thee

I had a dream that I flew
Woke up midflight 6 inches above my bed
So I turned over and hugged my love
And she said tell me what you've seen

I put my arms out wide
Straight over our home and the tallest trees
Until the magic faded and I fell back to earth
And I let the ground find me

Oh, love, oh, did the ground find me
And as it crushed my spirits and shattered my frame,
I only thought of thee

I had a dream that I lived
Woke up in the morning with a smile on my face
So I turned over and hugged my love
And she said tell me what you've seen

I'd seen all the corners of the world
The tallest statues and the deepest ravines
Until I laid down in bed after many days gone
And let love find me

Oh, love, oh, did love find me
And as it soothed my worries and asked me what I'd seen
I only thought of thee
