It Felt Like A Dream

Well, I got tangled up in blue, and that’s for sure, now everything looks new
But not the way it sounds and I wish it wasn’t true  
I made ten calls collect to shrinks and doctors but none of them went through 
So I’ll just close my eyes and prayed that when I open them 
I’ll be looking at you

How I got in here’s a mystery , and how I get back out, who can tell?
I only know two things and one is that I’d take heaven instead of hell
And the other is when you were here I was doing pretty well
And when I woke up this morning I found out that I had nothing left to sell.

And I know nothing, nothing’s ever as easy as it seems
But I know you were right here with me once, and it was real
But it felt just like a dream

So now, just one more day later and I’m sitting all alone here
On a bench down in the station
I don’t know if I’ll go east or west or north or south I really have no indication
The girl that just walked past looked happy headin out on vacation
I’d like to go there with her but I’m stuck here in a different situation

When I reach into my pocket I’m gonna find there’s nothing there
The last train that I rode they kicked me off when I couldn’t pay my fare
And sitting there on that bench I realized
I probably didn’t care
So I just closed my eyes and prayed that when I opened them
You’d be standing there

And I know nothing, nothing’s ever as simple as it seems
But I know you were right here with me once, and it was real
But it felt just like a dream

Now, life without you is a puzzle, and I just cannot find the pieces
I gotta hope against hope that this thing desists and ceases
Or that the doors that shut get psychokinesis
I wanna think it works that way
And that, somehow, my faith never decreases

So what would you do if I prayed Lord, help my unbelief
I just wish somebody had written down how to find relief
I guess somebody did
But I’m just wrapped up in my grief
So I’ll just close my eyes and pray that when I open them 
I’ll see that day coming in like a thief

And I know nothing, nothing’s ever really just quite what it seems
But I know you were right here with me once, and it was real
And it felt just like a dream
