Dream A Dream

Dream a Dream

Dream a Dream, of Yesterday
Faded Memories, a Child at play
For a little boy, it’s early May
Picking Daffodils, along the way

In my youth, there was warm sunlight
Love was fresh, passion burned bright
Two hot bodies, steamed the night
For one brief moment, it seemed so right

Summer passed, the World turn cold
What we had, I couldn’t hold
Wedding Vows, cheaply sold
A sad sad story, too often told

Here I sit, racked with pain
Cried for help, no one came
Soiled myself, covered with shame
In the emptiness, go insane.

Dream a Dream, Of Yesterday
Keep the Hope, and Hurt at Bay
One Last Coin, Ferryman to Pay
Come tonight, take me away.

I Beg of Thee,
If you think of me
Forgive,
what I have done
Forget,
what I’ve become
