I had a dream of you last night, and when I woke I paused to think…
Something wasn’t feeling right, did I really have that drink???
It seems so real and vivid…now what am I to do???
For a moment I relived it…my love affair with you.
I swore you’d never touch my lips… but there you were my subtle foe…
You had me in your evil grips… In the sordid places we once would go.
You only stalk me while I sleep, you are not welcomed here…
As I softly slumber in you creep, but soon you’ll disappear
I’m not the man you use to know, you’re just a false illusion… The time has come when you must go, retreat from your intrusion.
Upon awakening it’s plain to see, things aren’t the way they seem…
The slip I had was not to be, thank God you’re just drinking dream.
