in my dream last night everything was so bright   i could barely make you out through the light   in my dream last night there was no sound to your sight   and all your comforts were subtitled white on white      put a penny on a railroad track   for you to pick up on your way back   how can it be that you are gone to stay      in my dream last night anything that you'd write   would unravel and lift like a mist out of sight   but in my dream last night i guess you seemed alright   you weren't scared or anything      put a penny on a railroad track   for you to pick up on your way back   how can it be that you are gone to stay      all the rain on the day that you died   i've never seen the reservoir so high   i guess this is as close as it gets to goodbye
