In my dream last night everything was so bright I could barely make you out through the light In my dream last night there was no sound to your sight & all your comforts were subtitled white on white Put a penny on a railroad track For you to pick up on your way back How can it be that you are gone to stay In my dream last night anything that you'd write Would unravel & lift like a mist out of sight But in my dream last night I guess you seemed alright You weren't scared or anything Put a penny on a railroad track For you to pick up on your way back How can it be that you are gone to stay All the rain on the day that you died I've never seen the reservoir so high I guess this is as close as it gets to goodbye
