Midnight summer dream
Woke up on a good dayAnd the world was wonderfulA midnight summer dream had me in its spell.
I dreamt about an old manSat and watched the rain all nightHe couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell.
He told me of the beautyHidden in our foreheadsHe told me of the uglinessWe show instead.
And when we put a foot wrong do we learnFrom all the pain?A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain.
Then at midnight he poured another drinkAnd bent my earAfter midnight we sat up half the nightOr maybe moreAnd he began to tell me what it was all for
I woke up in an armchairHe had gone I don't know whereLeft me there to sit and look at the rainDon't remember much at allBut his words were echoingA midnight summer dream and then wake again.
Maybe I'll never find himMaybe he's gone foreverMaybe I'll have to sit hereWatching weather.
One thing's pretty certain helped meMake it in the nightShowed me somewhere else besides wrong and rightAnd at midnight if you can't sleepThen I can bend your earAfter midnight we'll sit up half the nightOr maybe moreAnd I'll begin to tell you what it is all for.
Wake up on a good day and the worldFeels wonderful.Midnight summer dream has me in its spell.
