Dreams

All that I felt on the first time it happened
Was the feeling of something bad coming true
One day I was happy
One day I was laughing
And then somewhere a chain snapped
Like that I was loose
Why don't anything give me the joy that it used to?
Why don't anything feel as real as it once was?
I feel so sad, but that ain't how I choose to
It shouldn't have to hurt so bad, but it does

Dreams a keep a comin', but the dream done gone
It was a summer night when I found my religion
I was under the tent, I was struck by the palm
And The Holy Spirit rained down upon me a vision
I felt better a little while, but then it was gone, I
Went to the mountain, and I went to the cabin, I
Washed myself in the river, and I waited on love
But I was lonely and dark as the moons around Saturn
Yeah, darkness for miles was all that there was
It was after the Lord and me parted ways that I found her
She was taking pictures of people coming into the mall
And she took my portrait as well as she could do
With someone who seemed to be not there at all, I
Stayed with her a while and I called myself happy, I
Clung to her hands and her hair and her mouth
But like every man who finds out he is drowning
I held onto her heart until I just wore her out
