Once I dreamed a dream
Saw you dragged and taken away
Among all the scream
Forgive me I heard you say
Off to you I hurried
Fearful of any delay
Heavier my legs were getting
For the surface was turning to clay
Now I could see that you’re gone
But your shadow fancied to stay
To me he turned and started to say
Pray till the sun rises, pray
Pray till the dark falls, pray
Stay, and fear not, for your love decided not to stay
Your shadow and I knew how supreme
My love to you though
I don’t see you but dragged in my dream
Your shadow and I
dreamed again the same dream
This time your shadow gone astray
Now the shadow of your shadow and I
Again been in that same dream
and he asked me to fear not
because my love decided not to stay
