If I slipped away into my head
and walked on the paths that no man has tread
Will I find you there in the field waiting for me?
Under the shade of that crooked oak tree?
I’ll fly away with you through the primrose sky
and make you forget why you told me goodbye
I’ll tell you I’m sorry for all that I’ve done
so you won’t pull the trigger on this old metal gun
I’ll break open the lock and let your soul roam loose
so you won’t go jumping with your neck in a noose
If we immerse ourselves in the forest right here
Will you forgive all the words I said to you, dear?
lets frolic through graveyards of lost, broken dreams
and climb the ladders of yellow moon beams
lets run through a field of vast open stars
and reclaim all the ones we once called ours
gather them into the palms of your hands
and blow them away, lets see where they land
lets watch them bloom from the cold icy ground
and sprout glittering leaves where spirits have drowned
Lets fall through the surface to a warm ocean’s arms
tucked under a shell where a pearl knows no harm
Dip into a planet’s teetered orbit
delve into its heart where the colors all fit
Cling tight to a comet as it speeds through the night
and feel it soar to an unfathomable height
Lets sail through the winds of the cool mountain air
and climb to the peaks that no one has dared
Lets flutter down to the page of a book
and traverse the curve of a J’s furled hook
Lie suspended in free fall as we both tumble down
watching lights flicker from a far distant town
weightless and free as we spiral around
wingless yet flying towards the welcoming ground
arc through a cloud and bound through a breeze
manipulate the fabric of whatever you please
In this land we are gods, completely supreme
but please don’t remind me this is all just a dream
I know you don’t love me, but pretend that you do
color my sky a deep sapphire blue
imbibe me into the warmth of your heart
and promise me that you will never depart
cushion my fall as I slip into your heat
unify my soul, please make it complete
as I open my eyes and you whisper “goodbyeâ€
hold me together as I crumble and cry
And slowly, so slowly my dream ebbs away
the colors all fade and again life is grey
but I will remember all that you said
and maybe someday you’ll stay here instead
