Peter Mulvey - The Dream Lyrics
Inside the tunnels, the stone tunnels, are the trainsAnd inside the trains, the steel trains, are the bags of skinAnd inside the thin skin are the blood and the bonesAnd inside the blood and the bones are the dreamsIt really is that simple, it really is that fragileI am one such dream inside the blood and the bones and the bags and thetrains and the tunnelsThere's a dream sitting next to meThere's a dream across from meFragileWe all know that one dayThe tunnels will crumble and the trains will stopAnd the blood and the bags and the bones will be goneAnd in between now and then something will happen to all the dreamsI don't know what will happen to the other dreamsBut I know what will happen to meSure as rain, I know, sure as winterI'll breathe and grieve and struggle and strive and love, loveAnd if I'm lucky once, just once, the dream will drop to the floor like a vaseand shatter in shards of silenceWhere I will see, I will see in the pattern of the pieces, I willSee somethingThis will, this will happenBut now the train with all its fragile cargo rolls on.
