I dreamed that I was drowning
and that you were the air
I dreamed that I could reach you
In dreams love can be fair
I dreamed I was the ocean
intent upon the shore
I dreamed that you were near and
I could touch you just once more
I dreamed that you were sailing
as I cupped you in my hand
I dreamed that I could stop you
from stepping onto land
I dreamed you were a river
returning home to me
but I know I am the river
and I know you are the sea
