[HOW WILL I KNOW]
© Krista Detor, [Cover Their Eyes]
I had a dream at the end of an evening
I sat at my desk and I wrote it down
I scratched at the surface of something much bigger
âAs usual,â I said, though no one was around
I had a dream at the end of my dreaming
An elephant fell from a cliff to the sea
I watched as he tumbled down into the water
And he swam away ⦠no one saw but me
When are you coming back? Will you be gone long?
How will I know itâs you when so often Iâm wrong?
So often Iâm wrong.
I had a dream there were boys in the bushes
Playing with matches in the heat of the day
They lit them and threw them, one after another
âTil they had all burned, and the boys ran away
When are you coming back? Will you be gone long?
How will I know itâs you when so often Iâm wrong?
So often Iâm wrong.
I had a dream of a wedding Iâd been to
Out in the woods on a Saturday night
I fought with my love in the shadow of pinegrove
While fireflies danced and lit up the night
I had a dream that you left without telling me
Where you were going and I couldnât find you
I dialed all the numbers that I could remember
And then I remembered Iâd been so unkind
When are you coming back? Will you be gone long?
How will I know itâs you when so often Iâm wrong?
Yeah often â¦
Iâm waiting, will you be gone long?
How will I know itâs you when so often Iâm wrong?
So often Iâm wrong.
I knew a girl that went blind when she got scared
Just wouldnât see what she just couldnât see
âHow lucky,â I said, though no one was listening
To no one, I said, âI wish that was me.â
