The Dream

Last night I dreamed that you and I were in an awful storm

With no place to go for shelter anywhere

And it took a while to realize the reason for the dream

Now the meaning of it all is coming clear

The storm was all the trouble we've been having

No shelter was the answer we can't find

And the screaming of the raging wind that chilled me to the bone

Must have been the wearing on my mind

And when today you called to tell me it was over

Lord, I knew it when the phone began to ring

Yeah, it took a while to understand the reason for it all

But now I know the meaning of the dream

Yeah, the storm was all the trouble we've been having

No shelter was the answer we can't find

The screaming of the howling wind that chilled me to the bone

Must have been the wearing on my mind
