[Instrumental Intro, full verse] [Verse] We met in the park by the baseball field Everything empty but strangely still The air had a soft electric feel ***Like something forgotten was almost real*** We walked past the trees and the houses we knew And the afternoon gold turned into blue Summer cut wood and hot pavement and wind She remembered a song I had heard as a kid [Verse] I met a girl who is easy and free Like the wind on the water or the sun on the trees Her hair is the color of the earth in my dreams Girl from my dreams won’t you be with me [Instrumental] [Verse] We walked down the streets that I knew as a kid Sun through the branches in long yellow strips The sunlight was broken in lines on the road And I didn’t have anywhere else to go You talked like you knew me before I was me Before all the dumb things I meted to be The afternoon leaned on the telephone wires And everything normal was quietly on fire [Verse] I know a girl who is easy and free Like the wind on the water or the sun on the trees Her hair is the color of the earth in my dreams Girl from my dreams won’t you be with me [Bridge] Maybe you were nobody Maybe I made you up Maybe my brain got lonely And filled in the rest with love But I woke up with your face gone And the whole day feeling wrong Like a station I could almost tune Like a half-remembered room [Verse] I knew a girl who is easy and free Like the wind on the water or the sun on the trees Her hair is the color of the earth in my dreams Girl from my dreams won’t you be with me [Outro, walk down progression from quiet to loud] Girl from my dreams Won’t you be with me Girl from my dreams Won’t you be with me Everything gold Turns into blue Girl from my dreams I still think of you
