Visit Me in Dreams

Visit me in dreams;

It’s cheaper there–

We can talk for hours

And you’ll never be late to bed.

Visit me in dreams;

I’ll play our favorite song–

We’ll dance to violin,

I’ll smile as you hum along.

Visit me in dreams;

You’ve only to close your eyes,

Interlace your hands,

And feel your fingers in mine.

Visit me in dreams

Until you have to rise;

The sun has set upon this day

And stars begin to shine.

Visit me in dreams

Before you fade to dust,

And all are left are memories–

Iron left to rust.

Visit me in dreams

The shadow’s closing in

My heart, failing,

Beats soft for you, friend.

Visit me in dreams,

The lines are getting thin

Between the cracks of yesterday

And never, ever, again.
