I can’t remember the dream that I had last night
but I woke with delight and excitement and then
when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night
it was gone but the feeling I had in the dream stayed onWhen I’m awake and I look around me
I can faithfully report everything that I see
Most of my memories tend to be sad
So I wish I could remember the dream that I hadI can’t remember the dream that I had last night
if I could I would write it out, underline the highlights
of the dream that would now redefine my life
be a new roadmap, affirmation and guiding lightWhen I’m awake I know all that I see
And remember it with photographic accuracy
Most of my memories tend to be bad
And I’m sad I can’t remember the dream that I hadWhy can’t I remember it when
I can’t
Forget
Unpleasant thoughts I want to push them away
They creep
Like weeds
Like weeds that cover all the flower bedI can’t remember the dream that I had last night
but the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing
as the incredible dream that I had last night
is a clue to the key to a door to a world like thatMy daily life doesn’t interest me
It’s a neverending litany of pain and ennui
This waking nightmare is driving me mad
And I wish I could remember the dream that I had
When I’m awake I know all that I see
And remember it with photographic accuracy
All of my memories make me feel bad
And I’m sad I can’t remember the dream that I had
Why can’t I remember the dream that I had
Wish I could go live in the dream that I had
