The Dream - Rufus Wainwright

The dream has come and gone

The earth lumbers on

The dream is back in space

Back where it came from

The dream has gone away

The earth could not play

The earth just spins in place

Throwing things away

And I am left behind

Corrupted crushed and blind

All for a dream

That in truth was never really mine

But who was the dream?

Was it you or was it me?

I truly loved

Which is harder to do

Than to dream of

Don’t get me wrong

I wanted to go

I wanted to see

I wanted to know

No, don’t get me wrong

I wanted to go

I wanted to see

I wanted to know

I wanted to dream

I just didn’t know

How hard it would be

When the dream had to go

When the dream…

But who was the dream?

Was it you or was it me?

Who was the dream?

Was it you or was it me?

I truly loved

Which is harder to do

Yes, it’s harder to do

Yes, it’s harder, harder, harder to do

Than to dream of

The dream has come and gone
