I dreamt i had a drug addiction too And in that dream I couldn't comfort you I guess it was a nightmare But someone told me nightmares Are dreams that won't ever come true I lost my sense of balance once And hugged the floor to keep me up The doctor said I'm tired My wife called me a liar She didn't let me rest and now she's gone. Clouds like gossamer split open in the night Geese fly high in their v shapes to alight Watch your mouth, I am only describing the scene Hold your tongue, girl, and meet me in my dreams A velveteen baby with a name Stitched into the back of its brain I found it on the river And its name sent such a shiver That to this day I am stuck shivering
