Would you miss me
if I was no longer here
would you notice I was missing
would you even shed a tear

Would you think back
to all the things you never said
would you find time to write that letter
would you wish it had been read

Would you follow me
or try to find out where I'd gone
would you wish you'd made the effort
would you admit you got it wrong

Would you wish now
that you'd decided not to wait
Would you read this in the future
and curse you were too late?

I opened my eyes
And looked up at the rain,
And it dripped in my head
And flowed into my brain,
And all that I hear as I lie in my bed
Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,
I walk very slow,
I can't do a handstand--
I might overflow,
So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said--
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.

I dreamed of you again last night,
The warmth of your embrace,
Your soft lips against my cheek,
And the scent of roses on your skin.

I dreamed of you again last night,
The way your hair falls
All around your face, and
Over the pillow we share.

I dreamed of you again last night,
The way our heart beats mingle
In our loving, until they stop,
For one second that goes on
Forever.

In silence, I dreamed of you,
And in the silence of my night,
My soul heard your soul
Cry out its passion, and
My soul answered,
Screaming to be heard above
The silence of my dream.

I dreamed of you again last night.
When I woke, and reached for
Your warmth, all I could feel was
The cold of alone.
