Dreamed of You Again Last Night

Dreamed that you loved me again I saw it in your eyes Filled with love and happiness The words we wrote despised The tears were writ upon the clouds Your heart was not the prize The words we spoke can't be unsaid Our love has been capsized The birds sang out ,"its all for naught." My love is not for sale I prayed for you upon my knees Was hid behind the vale The hope I felt moved inside my dream The picture had been taken I wanted you to wait for me Must have been mistaken Woke to tears I see it clear Gathered memories within my soul Armies fought to cleanse the mess Precious love was on the dole The birds sang out ,"its all for naught." My love is not for sale I prayed for you upon my knees You hid behind the veil The birds sing with morning glory Love carried in a pail My prayer's were never heard those nights My ship put out to sail I visit when asleep at night We're walking hand and hand Hope those wicked birds sleep in As we walk along the sand Those birds are my alarm clock As your vision slowly fades Only see you as I dig the hole It's best to use a spade
