This morning I woke up
I had a melody in mind
Felt like I should sing it but
I wouldn't call it mine
And then I'll make you coffee,
And then I'll make you plans,
Then the song slips away
Like water through my hands.
The last thing I remember is
Is the silence taking hold
I'm in and out of dreams,
I'm spinning way out of control:
You gave me something beautiful,
You gave me something true
I try to make it mine;
Somehow I'm just not getting through.
Dreams are just like melodies
A delicate simplicity:
Fill them up with words,
And drown them with philosophy.
The dream I had was beautiful,
But I let it get away from me...
I let it get away from me.
I used to have designs to make
The whole world know my name,
Was too close to the heat,
I watched it all go up in flames,
Gave me something beautiful
Gave me something true
I'm finding a way to complicate it
Like I always do.
Remember what I said
When we were down in Mexico?
This dream we share is real
And we can never let it go.
I know I'm getting older,
I'm feeling like a ghost:
The way I feel right now
I know I must be getting close...
Must be getting close.
Dreams are just like melodies
A delicate simplicity:
Fill them up with words,
And drown them with philosophy.
The dream I had was beautiful,
But I let it get away from me...
I'm not the kind of man
Let it go so easily
