I Dreamed of My Old Lover |
I dreamed of my old lover last night |
I wondered if I spoke out loud |
And if by chance my husband overheard |
He’d put my face back in the crowd |
His eyes were clear and gentle then |
He’d kissed the troubles from my brow |
I long to fall to sleep again |
I wondered how he would look now |
Would our kids grow stubborn or grow strong? |
Would their limbs bronze insult to the sun? |
I wondered how it feels but then |
I rarely dream of anyone |
In the songs of shame and the tales of dread |
Where they seal the lovers' lips with lead |
And all the vines wind through their eyes |
But no one knows this passion now |
But no one knows this passion now |
So I keep this fancy to myself |
I keep my lipstick twisted tight |
I long to fall to sleep again |
'Cause I dreamed of my old lover last night |
I long to fall to sleep again |
'Cause I dreamed of my old lover last night |
