Dream Letter Lyrics
Tim Buckley
Lady time fly away
Ive been thinking bout my yesterday
Oh, please listen darlin to my empty prayers
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
All I need to know tonight are you and my child
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
Is he mamas little man?
Does he help you when he can?
Or does he ask about me?
Just like a soldier boy
I been out fighting wars
That the world never knows about
But I never win them loud
Theres no crowds around me
But when I get to thinkin
bout the old days
When love was here to stay
I wonder if wed ever tried
Oh, what Id give to hold him.
