It's Only a Dream

After midnight, sleep won’t come
The thoughts keep playing through my mind
The thoughts of you, your amber eyes

Two am the clock keeps ticking
Images keep going through my mind
It's been many, many years since I've felt so dead inside

I see us underneath the moon
Outside beneath the stars
The sky a velvet blue, the smell of winter in the woods

As we sit beside the fire, roaring in the winter cold
The snow flakes fall around us, but the fire keeps us warm
The snow flakes fall without a sound

A wise and ancient man, is sitting by your side
He talks to you in tongues of old
His words to you are wise

You nod at him politely, and slowly turn to face me
Your amber eyes meet mine
You touch my cheek so tenderly

And I know you’ve said goodbye
