In the memory of a dream Moving through the house that I grew up in Finding all the rooms are empty
Letting go of children's things Wondering if I was ever ready To live the life that I have chosen
This is a day like any other I'm not afraid today To be alone Or think of home
Dreaming that I'm awake Safe in the cradle of your arms Safe in the thought that you are here Dreaming I'm not afraid Waiting for you to disappear Dreaming that you are really here To stay
You are what is lost in me All of what is sacred and unholy Leaving what is left unspoken I become myself again Practicing the art of being broken To keep the hope of being whole
This is a day like any other All of the things I've had to love or fear Have disappeared
Dreaming that I'm awake Safe in the cradle of your arms Safe in the thought that you are here Dreaming I'm not afraid Waiting for you to disappear Dreaming that you are really here To stay
Learning how to close the door To the rooms I won't be going back to Where I leave a child dreaming
Dreaming that I'm awake Safe in the cradle of your arms Safe in the thought that you are here Dreaming I'm not afraid Waiting for you to disappear Dreaming that you are really here To stay
