I'm adrift on solid snow white sheets
A simple story plays along as I sleep
I stand in the barn doorway
Looking across my father's farm
And standing in front of me is a
Little girl with a boy on her arm
He lifts his head, I look away
Its obvious this boy is starving
Suddenly I know that this boy is me
That is standing with this blonde nurse child
And my dreams have altered
The way I feel for so long
Let me let you in on a little secret
I'm not awake yet guys,
Let me let you know how the story ends
My brother, a solid oak of a man,
Steps down from a shaded ladder
He puts his arm around
Me and then begins to speak
He says we were worried about you,
You looked a little frail brother
Your skin, your hands, your face
Can barely be seen
You're a ghost and now I know
You can make it through anything
But I'm not awake yet guys
And it's me who is standing with
The blonde nurse child and my dreams
Seem to be affecting the way I live
(La da la da) sleep and dream quiet dreams
When I get home I'm going to turn on the TV
And I'm going to get out of this house
Because I've been sleeping too long
And I never want to feel the way
I felt when I was there
Let me out of here!
My dreams have predicted
The way I've felt for so long
And it's me who is standing with
The blonde nurse child
