Well I had an awful dream I laid your bones by a shallow stream And I carved your name in a willow tree And beat the ground ♪ With water clear and sun a'bright I left the tears alone to dry And I raised my arms up to the sky And challenged God "You had no prose, you had no right To take my dove, my little light Half of my soul, half of my sight My beating heart, my precious wife" ♪ Have you no answer? Follow you no more I'm on my own This means war ♪ When I awoke, when I came to My whole perspective was brand new I made a vow and I keep it true Hold very close what's given to you Keep very close what's given to you
