Dear Black Dream

Lyrics

My last and longest dream Dear black dream She asked me what it was I said, what does it mean? She said that it will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night She said everything will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night I had this dream In a strange black Northern hotel I had this dream And it felt like I'd been through Hell She said, 'Do you have villains in your life?' Well, I guess I do 'Are they vindictive and often cruel?' I thought she must know them too She said that it will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night She said everything will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night I had this dream In a strange black Northern hotel I had this dream And it felt like I'd been through Hell I dream of her in the colour black She dreams of me in the colour red Her red is soft and warm like cloth My black is dear black dream She said that it will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night She said everything will be all right She said you've just had a troubled night I had this dream In a strange black Northern hotel I had this dream And it felt like I'd been through Hell My love and I sit in bed in the dark My love and I sit in bed in the dark Wondering who sings better in the dark Is it Townes Van Zandt or is it Guy Clark?
