Some are restless dreams.

Some are restless dreams.

Dreams fall into morning mist

He awakes wondering what he missed

His relationship with dreams two fold

Those he wishes he could remember

Those he can recall but can never be told

Journeys travelled, people he encountered

Words and photographs, that guitar he plucked

That forgot how to play.

What his dreams had to say are but snapshots

Sometimes they are just strong coffee dreams

Once the mask doesn’t drop come morning time

There is nothing really to worry him

Every-day is an unknown day

So the more pleasant the dream

The easier to play out the part

Dreams are once off occurrences

Released once eyes are open

For sure there will never be

Classic covers to be released once

He bites the dust, he is safe in that respect

For dreams are as life is, ashes to ashes dust to dust.
