dreams come and dreams go
i dream of living on the moon
this day will drag on
this day will fall to night too soon
rain beats against the building sides
broad street flowing like the tides
through the sewers, to the sea
it all comes flowing back to me
it was you i wanted to be with all along
by the time i realized it you were gone
on fire island, 1985, you asked where i was going, barely alive
i can hear it still
just get the time spent, never mind the cost
awake in bed at night, there's another day lost
and the chattering crowds throng and press in the streets
and i push my way through and i make myself eat
and i turn the pages and i smudge the ink
and i keep myself busy and don't let myself think
like each day is a maze that i have to get through
and a single wrong turn could bring me face to face with me and you
it was you i wanted to be with all along
by the time i realized it you were gone
on fire island, 1985, you asked where i was going, barely alive
i can hear it still
dreams come and dreams go
i dream i let things slip away
it rained on fire island
it rains here almost every day
and i wasn't brave, i let you go
every time i look in the mirror i know
and i try not to look and i end up here
it is like yesterday, it has been thirty years
i'm still trying to get there, i am always too late
and your ulcers and lesions suppurate
in some hospital up by the tappan zee
and i'm careening towards whatever it was that became of me
it was you i wanted to be with all along
by the time i realized it you were gone
