On Leaving

I thought I’d write you this letter
Here’s what I thought it should say
Things haven’t got any better
Now that you’ve gone on your way
I’m leaving you, and I can’t say when
I don’t know if I’ll be back again
All I can say is that this is how I was made

You. You’re like a dream
You. You’re like a dream
And I can’t bring myself to make it back
With all I’ve seen

I’m drifting through this weather
I got rain in the wintertime
I wonder if we’ll be together
When the spring is back
And I’m calling out
I’m sayin’ your name
When I come back
Will it be the same
And will I recognize
The slope of your face?

But you. You’re like a dream
You. You’re like a dream
And I can’t bring myself to make it back
With all I’ve seen

How many years has it been now
My memory seems to fade
It’s tough for me to remember how
You smell and how you taste
But I’m leaving you
Way back then
Plays in my head once again
All I can say is that this is how I remain

You. You’re like a dream
You. You’re like a dream
And I can't bring myself to make it back
With all I've seen
