Lyrics I Can't Remember The Dream - They Might Be Giants

I Can't Remember The Dream

I can’t remember the dream that I had last night
But I woke with delight and excitement
And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night
It was gone but the feeling I had in the dream stayed on
When I’m awake and I look around me
I can faithfully record everything that I can see
Most of my memories tend to be sad
So I wish I could remember the dream that I had
I can’t remember the dram that I had last night
If I could I would write it out, underline th highlights
Of the dream that would now redefine my life
Be a new road map, affirmation, and guiding light
When I’m awake I note all that I see
And remember it with photographic accuracy
Most of my memories tend to be bad
And I’m sad I can’t remember the dream that I had
Why can’t I remember it when
I can’t forget unpleasant thoughts?
I want to push them away
They creep like weeds, like weeds they cover all the flowerbeds
I can’t remember the dream that I had last night
But the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing
As the incredible dream that I had last night
Is a clue to the key to a door to a world like that
