White on White

- White on White -

In my dream last night everything was so bright

I could barely make you out through the light

In my dream last night there was no sound to your sight

& all your comforts were subtitled white on white

Put a penny on a railroad track

For you to pick up on your way back

How can it be that you are gone to stay

In my dream last night anything that you'd write

Would unravel & lift like a mist out of sight

But in my dream last night I guess you seemed alright

You weren't scared or anything

Put a penny on a railroad track

For you to pick up on your way back

How can it be that you are gone to stay

All the rain on the day that you died

I've never seen the reservoir so high

I guess this is as close as it gets to goodbye
