Blindness

Last night in a dream I had traveled back in time

Our feet were in the water and you put your hand in mine

I was blinded by the sunrise but I could not look away

You were in there somewhere, I could not get you to stay

This is where I live

In the spaces in between

The harsh light of the morning

And the magic of the dream

In one of them I'm dying

In one I never do

In one of them you're breathing

So I know you're there, too

Finally, I woke up in the darkness of the night

The shadow of the rain falling in the lone streetlight

I thought I heard a whisper reaching from the past

An echo, a reminder that nothing ever lasts

This is where I live

In the spaces in between

The harsh light of the morning

And the magic of the dream

In one of them I'm dying

In one I never do

In one of them you're breathing

So I know you're there, too
