Lyrics

You came to me last night in dream,

I greeted you as was our way.

You leant down to me as I lay

and gently kissed my open mouth.

I felt your kiss surge through my heart

and lace its spell about my feet

and enter in the earth so deep

that I forgot I was asleep.


This dream that drew me in its keep

seduced me from the dawning day.

Day tempted me with morning sun

and tried to steal your kiss away.

I fought to stay, pushed off the day,

while sunlight claimed me as her own,

and still I fought for gentle sleep,

wanting you and wanting peace.


Escaping day with sudden flight,

I turned away and chose the night.

I gladly left the world of light—

the dream, though futile, drew me near.

I left my life, embraced the dream

where you had so awakened me.

I made my choice forever sealed,

choosing you and choosing dreams.
