about

This is also a love song, but it's about a different girl that the first love song, and in particular describes a dream involving that different girl, who may have been at least partially fictional.

Also, the riff for this song was composed in the elevator of 230 Oak street in San Francisco, which had a nice strong hum to it when it was taking me up to the third floor where I lived with the girl who was not the subject of this song. I've probably said too much.

lyrics

In a dream
I had closed my eyes and touched your long hair.
And we kissed.
Streams of color rushing in from everywhere.
And I cried.
Tears fell off my face, flew parallel to the earth.
To the sea.
Crashing waves told timeless stories of rebirth
From far away.

In a dream
I saw reason cause the heavens to align
In the light (of our sight)
Hives of flies formed swarms in shapes of valentines
And then I
noticed shadows and the sunlight were the same
Looking up
I saw angels cry and burst into flame.
From far away.
