I dreamed I was back in the City
Just running down the street
My copper-color hair, was flying in the wind
My ribbons from my braids came loose
but I just didn't care
Ahead I saw the street lamp light and
He was standing there
I stopped and blinked and saw his face
love-lit eyes big with a smile;
He reached out and touched my face
his tender hands on fire
He looked at me with love and said
"You have so much to give"
"I want you to be happy, can't bear to see you weep"
"Don't worry I'll be waiting
for me it won't be long"
"For where I live Time has no meaning
it feels more like a song"
I was so shocked to hear his words
I woke up from my dream
When I looked down upon my pillow
Teardrops were shining still
Now my hair's no longer copper
It turned Blonde overnight
Caused by the sorrow and despair
The illness of my life
My braids are gone, the city too
I live so far away
All that remains of long ago
Is the street lamp and his name
