I lied down last night
closed my eyes
it was a terrible sight
snakes flying high
and clouds sinking deep
I could not
understand why
my world seemed upside down
though I knew
it was the same
for someone else.
why me, why me
why she could not see
In bed I turned on both sides
but my dreams could not fit
though the mattress was wide.
Some love not given, some shown too soon
can I get back there and amend,
at least in my head I will be clear,
for when I made lunch for that special friend,
it was already dark before noon.
If only, I could catch the bus again
get down at that stop, pass that very lane
below the tank we could meet,
see you once more,
and then,
fall back to my eternal sleep.

In bed I turned on both sides
but my dreams could not fit

Some love not given, some shown too soon

at least in my head I will be clear,
for when I made lunch for that special friend,

If only, I could catch the bus again
get down at that stop, pass that very lane

fall back to my eternal sleep.
