I Dreamt It


I dreamt it and now the  s c e n e  decays and withers away,
     all those past sorrows that come slithering when I close my eyes;
oh, will there be a time when sadness fades, dims and dies, I pray,
             when I do not linger amongst stones cold and angels weeping;
holding a ruby red  r o s e  while memories come creeping.
     When even the birds stop singing in my dreamy blue indigo skies,
oh, will there be a night of no  n i g h t m a r e s  when I am sleeping;
              when I can put my head upon my pillow until the break of day.
