Yesterday I had a dream
that I could fly
through the sky …
Then I woke up in a sweat
not dead yet
but on the ground.
I’m up in Johnson City Tennessee
looking for the “we” in me.
Lord, fly me o’er the Pontchartrain
back to the land of sugar cane
and summer rain.
A little girl was early told
Life was time, and time was gold.
She took a little every day
‘Til it went away, and she was old.
Then she cried ‘cause her gold was gone.
She cried ‘cause she was all alone.
Now she’s calling to you in the dark
Just a haunted, lonely heart --- lonely heart.
She cried “Never more shall we part.”
She cried “Never more shall we part.”
All those words I never said
Gently bled from my mouth.
And I am ready to embrace
This place where I belong.
I’m afraid but I need to love.
If I don’t, I’m gonna flood.
And I’m calling to you in the dark
Crying never more shall we part.
She cried “never more shall we part.
She cried “never more shall we part.
She cried “never more shall we part.
