Dondante

In a dream I saw you walk

Like a kid alive and talking, that was you

In the classroom, you were teaching

On the streets you were policing, that was you

To the one I now know most

I will tell them of your ghost, like a thing

That never, ever was

And all that ever mattered

Will some day turn back to batter, like a joke

Behind thin walls, you hid your feelings

Takes four legs to make a ceiling, like a thing

In a dream I saw you walk

With your friends alive and talking, that was you

Well, I saw it in your movements

And even though you never knew it, well I knew

How sweet it could be

If you'd never left these streets

You had me worried, so worried that this would last

You had me worried, so worried that this would last

But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass

But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass
