Only In My Dreams
( ONLY IN MY DREAMS )
I was walking home from work, and I heard a voice from behind.
I turned quickly to the left, but there was no-one there to find.
I continued walking down the street, but I picked up the pace.
My breath was getting heavier, and I felt so out of place.
The chilly air showed my breath, the night was getting cold.
My chest started to hurt a little, you could tell I was getting old.
My mind sometimes plays tricks on me, so I slowed down my walk.
Then again I heard it, not far behind me I heard someone talk.
I stopped dead in my tracks, and I asked ok who`s out there lurking.
The reply came as before, nothing, my talking was not working.
I contiued pacing up the street, my purse tight in my hand.
Then a guy ran past me and grabbed my purse, and said I hope you understand.
I started running after him, hoping to not run far.
Next thing you know I`m up in the air, cause I got hit by a car.
I hit the pavement hard that night, all you could hear was screams.
My husband was saying wake up dear, it was only in my dreams.
