I dreamed that I was dreaming
And when I woke in my dream it was true
I dreamed that I was wide awake
While sleeping the whole night through
There inside that dream I saw
Beside me there was you
I dreamed that you were sleeping
Dreaming of dreaming too

Was I really there last night
Or was I in your dream
Did I dream that I dreamed of dreaming a dream
Was nothing what it seemed
When the dawn arrives again
They’ll open up the blinds
They’ll say it was a nightmare
Only in my mind

They feed me pills to keep me calm
They say that I’m insane
I just stare out into space
Dreaming of dreaming again

I dream that I’m still dreaming
And when I wake in my dream it is true
I dream that I’m still wide awake
While sleeping the whole day through
Here inside that dream I see
Beside me there is you
I dream that you’re still sleeping
Dreaming of dreaming too

Am I really here today
Or am I in your dream
Am I dreaming I dreamed I dreamed that dream
Is nothing what it seemed
When the evening comes once more
They’ll close my blinds and say
It’ll be all right ‘cos they’ve shut out the night
I know I’ll be dreaming again

They feed me pills to keep me calm
They say that I’m insane
I just stare out into space
Dreaming of dreaming again

When the evening comes once more
They’ll close my blinds and say
It’ll be all right ‘cos they’ve shut out the night
It’ll be all right ‘cos they’ve shut out the night
It’ll be all right ‘cos they’ve shut out the night
I know I’ll be dreaming again
Yes I know I’ll be dreaming again

 
Song Info

This song came about when combining previously written lyrics with a foray into experimenting with open G guitar tuning.

The result is a delightfully simple and playful melody, but the lyrics reveal darker, disturbing undertones.

'They feed me pills
to keep me calm,
They say that I'm insane'
