My Only Love
The dream comes gliding
Murmured words
Out of dappled swirling light
The dream I dread but also need
I struggle to get away
At the same time breathlessly calling him
I embrace the dream
I am the dream
It always starts the same
Unfolding in a snowstorm
The sliding of the car then the crash
My dream spirit
Long raven hair blowing, floating
And the book of destiny opens
It is written
His departing cold fingers caress my skin
His dead lips kiss me
And the snow is falling
Then all is quiet, peaceful
His name engraved for eternity
I am shivering as real and dream entwine
And the crying, a haunting moaning
Drifts endlessly
Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight
Deep in a dream I see his earthly face
Entwined in his arms we rival the wind
Even eternal death cannot break this love
Soaring over lakes that stretch forever
Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight
Up we glide on his majestic wings
Where cliffs rise a thousand feet
We hover at his resting place
My tears falling and kissing his tomb
Come my darling, says my, come fly tonight
Deep inside this dream we fly as one
Only those who have lost love can understand
Until the pastel violet of dawn comes creeping
Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight
And I wear a mourning cloak, Oh how heavy it is
And the crying, a haunting moaning
Drifts endlessly
