Dream Within a Dream

V6

[Intro] I woke with something in my hand. I don't know what it was. I only know I tried to keep it. Mm-mm… Ah-ah… [Verse 1] Morning moved across the room. Your shape was in the light. I reached across the empty space before I opened my eyes. For half a second you were there. Or maybe I believed. Some things disappear so slowly you don't notice when they leave. [Pre-Chorus] Hold it. Hold it. Don't let it— There it goes. [Chorus] All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. I had you here. I had you near. Or did I dream that part of me? All that we see or seem… Mm-mm, mm-mm… A dream within a dream. [Post-Chorus] Ah-na, na-na… Mm-da, da-da… Stay— Ah-na, na-na… Stay— Mm-mm… [Verse 2] Golden grains between my fingers. One by one they fall. I close my hand around them. Still I cannot hold them all. So I press my fist against my heart as if that changes anything. Funny how the tighter that I hold, the faster everything slips free. [Pre-Chorus] Hold it. Hold it. Don't let it— There it goes. [Chorus] All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. I had you here. I had you near. Or did I dream that part of me? All that we see or seem… Mm-mm, mm-mm… A dream within a dream. [Instrumental / Vocal Drift] Mm-da… Na-na… Ah-ya, ah-ya… Dream… Mm-da, da-da… Dream… Ah-na, na-na… I had— I had— I— I-I-I… Mm-ah… Da-ya… [Bridge] If I can't keep the moment, let the moment keep me. If I can't stop it leaving, let it leave something in me. Open my hand. Look— Nothing. And still I feel the weight. [Build] Dream… Dream… Mm-na, na-na… Ah-ya… Dream… Da-da, mm-da… Don't wake— Don't— Mm-mm… [Final Chorus] All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. I had you here. I had you near. Maybe that's enough for me. All that we see or seem… Ah-na, na-na… No need to hold it now. Mm-da, da-da… A dream… within a— [Extended Outro] Mm-mm… Ah-na, na-na… Da-ya, da-ya… Mm-da, da-da… Dream… Ah-na… Dream… Mm-mm… [Whisper] There it goes.
