I had a dream the scar on your face
Was a light in mine
I had a dream
Those yellow leaves
Must have stained my mind
We were driving for miles just to drive
I remember the sun was alive
New shades of lavender
I’ve seen since then
But those yellows
Haven’t been on my eyes
How did I become a stranger?
Guess I’d been looking
To leave things behind.
How did I become a stranger
When I saw you waiting tables
Yes, even mine
I remember your man was in jail
Back then, and I knew him besides.
We stopped and walked
Along through the woods,
So much gold hanging there in the sky
Funny how I remembered it as spring
A day as young as the planet brings.
A day before the oceans were swarming
And I woke up here
In the city’s early morning
How did I become a stranger?
Guess I’d been looking
To leave things behind.
How did I become a stranger
When I saw you waiting tables
Yes, even mine
Was a light in mine
I had a dream
Those yellow leaves
Must have stained my mind
We were driving for miles just to drive
I remember the sun was alive
New shades of lavender
I’ve seen since then
But those yellows
Haven’t been on my eyes
How did I become a stranger?
Guess I’d been looking
To leave things behind.
