So clearly in my dream
Your figure is portrayed,
I hear your voice so strong and firm
Yet soft without betrayal.
I hug your jolly figure
And with tear-filled eyes you gleam,
We hold the lives of one another
Not knowing it's a dream.
The happiness I feel
The hope of seeing you,
I anticipate the thought
That maybe it is true.
The gun was never put to your head
They never heard the shot,
I dreamt the entire death
Nonsense as I thought.
But the fog begins to drift
Into the scene we play,
Now we're saying goodbye
You've led me astray
I thought it was a dream
You misled me, I trusted you
No you can't, you can't be gone
Someone tell me it's not true
Tears are streaming down my face
As I'm driven away,
He's nothing but a shadow now
My hope begins to fray.
I awake in quite a sweat
Of anguish, fear and dread,
Reality begins to hit
My best friend's really dead.
