Bad Dream
Lyrics & Music by Steven Jackson & Brighter Things
I had a nightmare on our wedding night – you could see right through me And left me in the morning light – with a white dress and your room key Ah what the hell’m I supposed to do with that – I don’t love nobody else so I waved it from the balcony & I just screamed “surrender”
And I flew it like a mad man’s kite – with a key and prayed for lightning Ah but lightning they say don’t strike twice – and that’s just f’in frightening And I swirled it like it was your ghost – and I’d been drinkin’ all alone And danced so hard I cried or broke a sweat – and woke up in your arms there – soakin wet
It was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream Oh no, it was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream, dream dream dream --- dream
On your birthday I was out of town – and could not smell the smoke But you blew a wish that tracked me down – and my heart just broke, and broke And I left a piece in Omaha, and one out in Moline And every town I ever saw – when you weren’t there with me
And I prayed behind the steering wheel – and layed in hotel sheets And crossed my fingers just to get the feel – I might wake up, click my heels, and see
It was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream Oh no, it was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream, dream dream dream --- dream dream dream dream --- dream
Wake up darlin’ you don’t need no shoes The sky is burnin’, turnin’ orange and the night’s come unglued And it’s been too long since we just layed here soakin’ up the sweat of the mornin’ grass Like the first time that we came here and you asked
What did I do – before there was you If I was awake, my heart never knew If I was awake, my heart never knew If I was awake, my heart never knew If I was awake, my heart never knew If I was awake If I was awake - - - - before there was you …..
It was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream Oh no, it was a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad dream, dream dream dream --- dream dream dream dream --- dream
dream dream dream --- dream
