The Lover

In a dream, Love came to me,
And she said, "You let me down.
Why did you give up so easily?
How could you forget what you mean to me?"
And I was surprised, to say the least,
That she even remembered me.
I had thought she'd enjoy one less mouth to feed.
I thought she'd gained nothing from me.
Love could gain nothing from me.
Love, Love, Love sent for me.
Love, Love, Love rang my bell.
Love, Love, Love wanted me,
And I couldn't even tell.
I replied defensively,
"I tried and tried to tell you how
All your pretence confounded me
And how your absence always brought me down."
She stared at me in disbelief.
She said, "That wasn't anything.
I had thought you'd enjoy a little mystery.
I hoped you'd learn something from me.
It seems you've learned nothing from me.
Lonely is how you are meant to feel
When you're alone.
Distance is how you learn how much
You need my touch.
Don't ever say that I've forsaken you.
I made you. You make me. You are mine, and I am you."
Love lay down next to me.
And she said, "Sing me a song.
Sing your mind and sing your heart.
Sing like the lover I know you are."
But I was afraid. I don't know why.
I didn't mean to be.
I had thought I'd enjoy getting what I need.
But it was different when it was a dream.
"I could never live a dream."
But Love, Love, Love would not give up.
Love, Love, Love lifted me high.
Love, Love, Love let me go,
And I opened up my eyes.
And a tune was in my ear.
And a verse was on my tongue.
And her light was everywhere.
And I guess I never quite woke up
Cause I sang my new love song
For the one I've loved all along.
