I had a dream where I was naked
And you were wearing pantyhose
With a pencil and eraser, you modified Pinocchio’s wooden nose

I had a dream where I was jealous
But it was just in vanity
For every fear that I’ve embellished
Is a wasted opportunity

The disappearing contour
Of the shadow you couldn’t see
It doesn’t hold a candle
To the previous fire lit in your belly

Is Rusty Still in the navy?
I didn’t want him to get deployed
And I think they just had a baby
I didn’t find out the gender, was it a girl or a boy?

In that dream where we played dress up
In camouflage fatigues
I just hope I didn’t mess up your exclusive invite-only tea party

I had a dream up in a manger
But it was just a false alarm
I didn’t know you were an angel
With the olive branch extended from my right arm

Now I dream of motivation
Spur of moment in my heel
Perfect practice or perfection
When motivation is less than ideal

I had a dream I was a nightmare to all the people that I love
Well I guess I better wake up and get my act together once and for all
