I dreamed I could sing in two notes at once

My heart free to express itself

Words flew from my mouth

Like water over a hill

Putting less jagged shape to feelings

That cut me deep inside

A crowd gathered to hear me

Like a bird inside a zoo

But she was in the audience

It seemed clear that she knew

This was no performance

I hadn't chosen the place or time

Simply a victim of circumstance

With far too much on my mind
