Garden (A Dream I Had)

I got up; it was late in the evening
I put on my shoes, and took a walk
I was thinking about a story that had yet to be written

And I don't remember exactly how I met you
But there was something wrong with your hair;
It was getting in the way of something, and you didn't like it
We walked into the park, it was raining

Someone you know is hoping you can follow me;
Someone you know is hoping you can follow me
Into the end of the day, where it's always sort of raining
Pieces and pieces fall down from the sky
It the end of the day, it's really fucking raining
If you've seen it before, you know I ain't lying

We were walking, it was a little bit past midnight;
We could hear people singing, screaming, from afar
We stopped talking, I heard a footstep
Of course I heard it, it was you walking around in the woods all along

And we walked into a house with a door, and a letter from the city
Telling me they didn't really care about anyone
And I folded it up and let you inside, to my house
And you said "There's nothing really there!

Someone you know is hoping you can follow;
Someone you know is hoping you can follow me
Into the end of the day, where it's always sort of raining
Pieces and pieces fall down from the sky
The end of the day, when it's raining;
You've seen it before, so you know, I ain't lying

We were talking about a dream you had;
It kept happening around three, four, five in the morning
Rocket ship flying out of Newark International Airport;
You were about three miles away, somewhere in the city

You were just waiting for the train."
We were walking
"And you missed it
You missed the rocket ship by about two hours

It was the saddest day of your life
The strangest thing is,"
We were walking
"About a day later, you found out

That instead of going out of the atmosphere, into the air
Out into space, some other dimension
Some other planet,"
We were walking
"It just crash landed in some abandoned airport
In Berlin."

We were talking, until it was morning;
You said you were starting to get used to my empty house
Could've gone on, but you got up
And you left, and you said "Goodbye,"
And I don't think I ever saw you again

And I got up; it was late in the evening
And I put on my shoes, and took a walk
I was thinking about a dream I had
And I was thinking about how

I like to leave my footprints in the snow
I like to leave my footprints over there, in the snow
But you, you came along, and shoveled up all the snow;
Now the gardens are green again
