Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a dream
I had a dream I was flying over all of us
There were so many pretty people
So many pretty faces
[Verse 2]
I talked to some birds
I fell in love again
And none of us ever ended
Everything just kept going
And going, and going
[Verse 3]
And even when you laughed, you cried
And even when you were sad
You were really happy
Because you were here
[Verse 4]
And I got to meet every star
Every planet
Everything that made me
And we all kissed
[Verse 5]
And became the same
We became the same
We became the same
[Verse 6]
Who would've thought this?
We almost lost it
When you lie inside darkness
It's hard to see
[Verse 7]
And we sleep in tradition
Keep 'em off in the distance
To tell you that I haven't been
[Verse 8]
We all are cold water
Why try at all? Why bother?
[Verse 9]
Just hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling
[Verse 10]
Who would've dreamed this?
You couldn't mean this
It would be some type of
Meanness to where you are
'Cause I don't know where to go
And no one else seems to know
[Verse 11]
We are all night's fallen
Why try at all? Dark callin'
[Verse 12]
So, we're left alone
No one left to call upon
Be still now, broken bones as I travel on
Just hold me close, my darling
[Verse 13]
Just hold me close, my darling, ooh
Hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling, ooh
[Verse 14]
So, we're left alone
No one left to call upon
Be still now, broken bones as I travel on
Just hold me close, my darling
[Verse 15]
Just hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling
Just hold me close, my darling
Ooh
