Some dreams are too real to remember
Their beauty will fail in your hands
They'll stun you and float you downriver
You'll walk before long on the land

If poetry's mumbles are precious
Then all of our stumbles are too
We start and we finish with nothing
Where time gives your time back to you

I found your heart in a fever
You found my dream in a cave
We rose and walked on together
In the light that eternity gave

As if God didn't move on the water
As if clowns don't scream in the wind
As if we could change one iota
of how the old story begins

Where is the laughter and music?
Where is the shouting and song?
Why does love fly like the phoenix?
Where does it hide for so long?

I'm crawling back to my childhood
Tomorrow when morning comes true
I'll run with the prodigal spirits
Who save all their kisses for you
