I Must Have Dreamed

I must have dreamed myself a tender ghost,

And to you I was bound—

The spirit of Valentino

Following you around.

But you knew I would never hurt you—

Maybe that's why you never cared.

Had I become wild and dangerous,

Would you have beckoned me upstairs?

I must have dreamed myself a carpenter,

Drawing up the plans

For our house of wood and stone

On an acre in Wonderland,

A house made warm where you could hide

When the world outside turned cold,

Built by the strong and steady hands

You'd one day learn to hold.

I must have dreamed—

I must have dreamed—

I must have dreamed it all.

I must have dreamed myself the one you loved

And waited always for,

Holding your breath and listening

For the key-scrape in your door

The one that stretched above your world

Like a clear and deep blue sky,

Promising not to let you fall

If you wanted to learn to fly.

I must have dreamed—(dreamed you loved me . . . dreamed)

I must have dreamed—(nothing is as it seemed)

I must have dreamed it all.

I must have dreamed—(dreamed you loved me . . . dreamed)

I must have dreamed—(nothing is as it seemed)

I must have dreamed it all.
