Visit In My Dream

Thanks for the visit in my dream this morning
You said you weren’t gonna save the world no more
You visited my friend at the same time too
As always there’s enough to go around of you

Your eyes were clear and you seemed real good
You seemed at peace with wherever you were
I asked if you knew the direction you were headed
You smiled and said yippee cai-ai-ay

And I wanted to hang on and go along
But I knew this visit would be all for awhile
And I only understood about half of what you said
And nothing new there, but it all seemed good

You and me we’re kind of strange
Together I mean, but probably separately too
I never quite knew how to be around you
You can visit in my dream any time though

These days I’m eating dates and running on the beach
And my recent patterns have begun to fade
My dreams are so clear I wanna sleep the whole day
And my time awake is more and more like dreams

I wonder if during my dream with you
I was also in your dream with you
Possibly but not necessarily so
There’s probably no rules for dreams though

I could make like a bird and fly your way
But I probably wouldn’t have much to say
It wouldn’t bother me, I mean whoop de doo
But the guess here is that it might bother you

And I wanted to hang on and go along
But I knew this visit would be all for awhile
And I only understood about half of what you said
And nothing new there, but it all seemed good

Thanks for the visit in my dream this morning
You said you weren’t gonna save the world no more
You visited my friend at the same time too
As always there’s enough to go around of you
