I get to have you when I sleep, oh! so let me dream!
let me glance over lot lines to a sea of emerald green
the earth before me now has dried and cracked and flaked
but when I shut my eyes I dance with shadows that you make

I get to have you in my slumber, oh! so let me sleep!
let me hold you close enough that you can’t see me weep
quilt and pillow’s comfort grip me tightly like your hand
and my mattress topped with you and I: the softest place to land
