The Things You’ve Been Dreaming Of

By Wes Covey

 

Wake up my darling, wake up my love

Tell me the things you’ve been dreaming of

Tell me of places that you’d like to see

Tell me of djinis and tell me of kings

Tell me of stories that you’d like to hear

Wake up my love the morning draws near

 

Wake up my darling wake up my love

Tell me the things you’ve been dreaming of

Tell me of faces and tell me of fire

Tell me of honest men tell me of liars

 

Tell me of secrets, tell me of caves

Tell me of women borne atop the waves

Tell me of citizens weaned on the mud

Tell me of poetry tell me of blood

 

Tell me of circuses tell me of rings

Tell me of swans and the beautiful things

Tell me of hopelessness tell me of loss

Tell me of perfection tell me of flaws

 

Tell me of chaos tell me of lakes

Tell me of journeys the sea undertake

Tell me of dignity tell me of care

Tell me of mother, her long flowing hair

 

Tell me, my love, of things you have seen

From houses on hilltops In hours in between

In worlds never traveled on feet never sore

Tell me my love

And tell me some more
