It was only a dream
Alas I wake up from death to come
Embedded in my sadness
Embedded in my loneliness
If only you were here to hold me
And save me
And tell me you love me
I fall back asleep
Im trapped
Im lost
It's dark and I cant see
I cant smell
I cant hear
I can feel, I feel the warmth of your touch
But it's only a dream
Because you would never be with me
It's only a dream
