A Dream Within a Dream - Oren Lavie

the road stretches on from unknown destination

across open streams

through fields of carnations

it enters a city, a building

it stretches ahead

it stops at the feet

the feet of his bed

he’s aware of a small inclination

a dream in a dream

he pays no attention

oranges hover and faces all over he knows

is how the dream goes

caught within a dream within a dream

a man within a man

caught within a thought within a thought

an ocean so deep

he will drown in his sleep

ths winds whistles lower and the windows are yielding

the telephone rings in the opposite building

a voice with a likable, unrecognizable air

it runs in the walls

it isn’t quite there

he’s aware of a change in the weather

a dream in a dream

he’ll think of it later

a wonderful melody line that he couldn’t quite get

he couldn’t remember

he’d never forget

caught within a dream within a dream

a man within a man

caught within a thought within a thought

an ocean so deep

he will drown his sleep.
