Miss Templeton's 7000th Dream

She recognizes the voice on the phone

But she can't recall his face

She hears knocking on her door at night

But he never leaves a trace

She's had seven thousand nights with the very same scene

Repeated again and again in her dreams:

A muffled scream, and a broken fall

As the moonlight streams in from down the end of the hall

It's just the stars stooping down

To sing their goodbyes while a man with a briefcase

And hollowed out eyes speaks

Over and over again

Over and over again

Stranger things have happened in my time

Stranger things have happened in my time
