The Dark Is Rising

I dreamed of you on my farm

I dreamed of you in my arms

But dreams are always wrong

I never dreamed I'd hurt you

I never dreamed I'd lose you

In my dreams, I'm always strong

And now the creek is rising

And all my bridges burnt

I always dreamed of big crowds

Plumes of smoke and high clouds

But dreams don't last for long

I have my suspicions

When the stars are in position

All will be revealed

But I know that until then

Unless the stars surrender

All will be concealed

And now the snow is falling

And all my fences torn

I know you need someone

And I can hear someone

Somewhere in this song

I dreamed that I was walking

And the two of us were talking

Of all life's mysteries

But words that flow between friends

Winding streams, without end

I wanted you to see

But it can seem surprising

When you find yourself alone

And now the dark is rising

And a brand new moon is born

I always dreamed I'd love you

I never dreamed I'd lose you

In my dreams, I'm always strong
