Took you for granted til I couldn’t anymore
Took you for granted til you were gone
I close my eyes and listen to the music
Hear what I want to hear
See what I want to see
And block out the rest
What do whales dream about at night?
What do whales dream?
Do they have dreams?
They say that whales feel things more deeply than the rest of us do
Maybe they’re already enlightened
Wiser than me and you
Are they scared of the dark?
Do they stay up late?
when the lights go out, can they see where they’re going?
Do they get insomnia sometimes, like I do
What do whales dream about at night
It’s comforting to think of them, in their quiet bulk,
Floating around weightless in the dark,
Dancing in the phosphorescence
Making their plaintive sounds
While the troubled world spins around
What do whales dream about at night?
What do whales dream?
Do they have dreams?
Does the war zone above the surface
Percolate down below?
Do they get tangled in their nightmares like some humans that I know?
Are they scared of the dark?
Do they stay up late?
Do they listen to golden oldies til they can’t see straight?
What to whales dream about, dream about at night
What do whales dream about at night

They lost everything in the fire
There was nothing left
Now when the ghost appears
They smell burning
They lost everything in the fire
He buried little treasures
Tokens from the years
A gift picked out for each one he lost
Tennis shoes, a trophy, leather jacket, pocket watch
He picked something out for everyone he lost
We are all we have here
All we have is each other
Are the ones we love
Ever truly gone?
We are all we have
Sleepwalking heart
Sleepwalking heart
Saying one true thing
Is more scary
Than saying nothing at all
It’s hard to communicate
Pain pushed down can manifest
Hallucinations, and other worldly house guests
apparitions
superstitions
I can understand
This kind of affliction
It’s hard to say what you want
We are all we have here
All we have is each other
Are the ones we love ever
Truly gone?
We are all we have
We are all we have
We are all we have
Sleepwalking heart
Sleepwalking heart
Sleepwalking heart
