notice how that begins and ends in my mind
everything does, for me
I think it's the same for you
how else could it be?

there are people wandering the space
right before my eyes
doing homework, cooking dinner, watching TV,
no surprise

but I was somewhere elsewhere
remembering myself
by remembering amy
and remembering that anywhere's a
better place to be

and I dreamed that something's coming
and it's not just in the wind
and I put on Short Stories
(cuz Verities and Balderdash is on tape and I don't have a tape player handy)
and I remember more

she was all I ever wanted for a woman or a wife
she could fill my heart with magic or cut it out without knife
she was more than my reflection, I saw heaven in her eyes
found myself in her love and laughter (and my child between her thighs)

when we parted it was awful
neither wanted it to end
but parents and culture said it was over
and I died that day my friend
if god was ever out there
I would never know
for she took my soul with her
wherever she may go

did I tell you the one about the lost boy?
ever searching for the missing part for his toy?
did I tell you about the hope buried so deep
it only erupts in the night when he sleeps
(when he believes promises may still keep)

and my heart tries to sing today
and it almost flew again
but it learned about betrayal
at the hands of a best friend

and my mind tries to overcome
the mistrust and the doubt
but sometimes I'm just so locked in
I can't find a way out

and yet I still can dream
and sometimes feel inspired
it's not always libido
it's better deeper wired

and there's always interference
and some will still deceive
but anything is possible
if we would just believe

so maybe you'll come with me
and maybe you will stay
and maybe you'll just stop and stare
and then just walk away

and maybe we'll make magic
and maybe we'll make love
and maybe we'll just write about
the things we're dreaming of

but you know where to find me
and if you've got the key
you know how to get in
and maybe you'll find me

if you followed every link
and read every word
took the time to think
and feel what you heard

let go of everything
give up remembering
let only the moment
inspire you to sing
