I had a dream
I bought her drinks.
I kissed her in the pub;
We called it love.
We took some pills
to get ourselves to sleep.

I woke and slept and woke and slept again.
I woke and slept; five years now it's been.
The first verse was scrawled
In a book that I'd filled at 17.

I don't know if she ever was,
But I sure would give a lot for another dream.
