The Dream

I had a dream last night that the two of you met You were sitting side by side, talking like old friends You looked like I remember wearing that coat from '85 You were smiling like you are right now, all free and full of wild I had a dream last night that the two of you met He was telling you a story, I'm not sure which one it was Using his hands to mark out something, maybe the size of his love He never really spelled that out when he was down here on the ground But it's all right there in between the words And I can hear it clearly now I had a dream last night that the two of you met Yeah he was something, he was one of a kind And you would have loved him if you were born in his time But he's somewhere in your eyes Between heaven and earth, it's a damn long view I had a dream last night that the two of you met I was struck by the vision, the kind of dream you dream to dream And whatever you two talked about, that's between you and him, not me I hope he told you what's important, what to let go and what to hold And if he mentioned life is short, well, that's because he knows I had a dream last night that the two of you met Yeah he was something, he was one of a kind And you would have loved him if you were born in his time But he's somewhere in your eyes Between heaven and earth it's a damn long, damn long view Damn long view I had a dream last night that the two of you met You were sitting side by side talking like old friends
