about

I did have this dream. Woke up and tried to write it all down before it faded away. The girl in the dream who 'found your way home' was someone I knew intimately, but when trying to remember who...

I love the image of the woman in the raincoat "smoking away her pain". It was very vivid.

lyrics

All A Dream
(Winters,Sherman)

I had the strangest dream
All about you and me
Out in the country
We were underneath your family tree
To you it was familiar
Like a favourite memory
And I've rarely seen you like that
So happy and carefree

It was your childhood getaway
And you knew it well
But there was something unfamiliar
Something you had to tell
And it was already getting late
As we set sail alone
I thought we were lost in the darkness
But you still found your way home

DREAM DREAM DREAM
IT'S ALL A DREAM
YES IT IS
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT

And I've never really listened before
And I wonder if anyone pays attention anymore
And what of these dreams that play in the night
Over and over until we get it right

And then I found myself outside
Wandering in the rain
And there's a woman in a raincoat
And she's smoking away her pain
We had a conversation
In the middle of that night
She said "She doesn't really love you"
But I was ready for the fight (explain that to me)

CHORUS

Missing so many details
So many things not shown
She said "She doesn't really love you"
But I think I held my own

DREAM DREAM DREAM
IT'S ALL A DREAM
YES IT IS
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT
IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WE DON'T HAVE TO SEE IT THAT WAY
LIKE I'M COMING TO RESCUE YOU
