Dream

I don't know where I go when I go to sleep

I wake up and I wonder where I've been

I look around and realize where I am

Forgetting where I'm resting, it would seem

I woke up in a hotel room

Like in that Bergman film

The room was very strange and alien

A heavy hipped lithograph hung on Marie Antoinette grey

I did not know whether 'twas night or day

Hello, happy Anna

Pidgin English told[?]

Jangling telephone ring

Go on with the show

[?]

Bring me Chivas Regal

Drown my sorrows deep

D'isigny cheese and coffee

Victorian bath chamber

19th-century

European hotel

I'm in the Bergmann movie

Part the dusty curtain

Quite high to the street

Overquartered people

Walk by wintry trees

I might never leave here

Captive in the past

I'm just lonely dreaming

Eye circles don't last

Austrian ice champion

Fresh-eyed rosy cheek

Secret message tapping

Through the pipe just speaks

Surfacing from deep sleep

Unknown wilderness

Clinging in the dream state

To a thread of consciousness

It's a realistic still-life

French mock-antique decor

Frozen in my doom bed

As the visions face the floor

The bed was on a small stage

The curtain hung the part

Ghosts of strange assortment

At the Private Opera

The drama then was reversed

The phantom cast replayed

Advancing from the shadows

As awareness did fade

Sapping my strength from me

To combat the creeping fear

Forcing ears open [?]

I will my father near

Sapping my strength from me

I toil to no avail

Movement none could I make

Nor shun the phantom will

Sleep at last o'ercomes me

Safety in defeat

Once again 'tis morning

Car horns in the street

Part the dusty curtain

Quiet eye to the street

Overquarted people

Faceless by wintry trees

Victorian bath chamber

19th-century

European hotel

I'm in the Bergman movie

La la la la la la la

La la la la la
